Where fine wine flows with nature — and a touch of indulgence.

Description

Step into a serene world where vines meet water and every sip is connected to the land. The Nemea River Wine Experience is an immersive wine journey in the fertile valleys of Nemea — the historic homeland of Agiorgitiko — that blends terroir, nature, and sensory pleasure into one unforgettable experience.

Begin with a guided visit to a local winery, where you’ll walk among the vines and discover how the nearby river ecosystem shapes the personality of the wines. There, you’ll enjoy a tasting of selected reds and rosés, such as Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero, paired with light local treats.

Afterwards, a short walk or drive leads you to a secluded riverside spot, where wine meets stillness. Relax with a chilled glass and a curated tasting plate by the water — surrounded by trees, birdsong, and the flowing rhythm of the land.

The experience continues at a second boutique winery, carefully selected for its distinct character and premium tasting offerings. Depending on the season or your preference, you’ll enjoy one of two elevated pairings:

🍫 Wine & Artisanal Chocolate Pairing: A luxurious exploration of textures and aromas, where velvety reds and rich, dark chocolates enhance one another in surprising ways.

🫒 Olive Oil Tasting Experience: A guided discovery of high-quality local olive oils, paired with bread, herbs, and wine — showcasing the ancient bond between vineyard and olive grove.

This two-stop journey through Nemea brings together taste, nature, and craftsmanship, offering a balanced and poetic connection to the Greek land.

📖 “Did You Know?” Greek Wine Facts

Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can age gracefully for decades.

Xinomavro is often called the “Barolo of Greece” — bold, complex, and built to age.

Savvatiano is Greece’s most planted grape — and it thrives in the heat where other grapes fade.

Vidiano is Crete’s rising white star — once nearly extinct, now hailed as Greece’s next great white grape.

Agiorgitiko is known as the “Blood of Hercules” in myth.

Malagousia was nearly lost — until a winemaker’s instinct brought this aromatic gem back to life.

In Greek, “moscho” means fragrant, and it lives up to Moschofilero's name.
