After soaking in history’s ambiance, the tour moves south to the Nemea region—renowned for its rich vineyards and deep-rooted viticultural heritage. Nemea’s red wines, particularly the Agiorgitiko variety, have been cultivated here since ancient times, creating a unique profile celebrated across the world. The visit includes a guided wine-tasting at a boutique winery, where you’ll savor several vintages paired with locally sourced cheeses and breads, embracing the traditional flavors of the area.
