Go on a journey to a modern, but rare, and unknown to many wine world, full of genuineness and history. Discover two of the four most well-known grapes of the Greek vineyard in the world’s best markets, the exotic Moschofilero-Mantinia and the amazing Agiorgitiko-Nemea.

Delve into Greece's most important red-wine appellation, located in the northeast corner of the Peloponnese peninsula. The mountains and valleys surrounding the area of Nemea have been making wine for centuries, mainly from the native Agiorgitiko grape, ranging from rich dry wines to lighter, sweeter examples. Here, visit 2 of the more or less 40 wineries in the greater area.

    We had such a lovely time exploring the wineries around Athens, particularly those in Nemea and Santorini, where we discovered some of Greece’s finest vintages. The overnight stays allowed us to truly soak in the local culture, with each winery offering a unique charm and wonderful tastings. If there’s one thing we could suggest for improvement, it would be to include a bit more time at each location to fully enjoy the ambiance.

    Exploring Athens and the stunning wineries of Nemea and Santorini was a fantastic experience for our family. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, making it easy to unwind after our daily adventures. One suggestion would be to include a bit more time for each winery, as we found ourselves wishing we could linger longer at some of the finest vineyards.

    Embarking on this journey was a true delight, with each day offering a new adventure through the rich tapestry of Greek wine culture. In Athens, I savored exquisite local dishes paired beautifully with robust Nemean reds, immersing myself in the vibrant culinary scene. The highlight was a visit to Santorini’s stunning wineries, where the landscape itself felt like a painting and the wine flowed as freely as the laughter among fellow travelers. I appreciated the knowledgeable guides who brought each vineyard’s story to life, making every sip more meaningful. However, I wish there had been more free time to explore the charming streets of Athens in between the scheduled visits. The trip ended with a spectacular sunset on Santorini, a moment I will cherish forever. Overall, this tour is a fantastic way to uncover the finest aspects of Greece’s wine heritage while enjoying breathtaking views and delectable cuisine.
