A timeless wine journey on tracks — where heritage meets taste.

Description

Step aboard one of the most atmospheric wine moments Greece has to offer. The Nemea Wine Train Experience invites you to a unique journey that combines premium wine tasting, cultural exploration, and a rare setting — a vintage train carriage nestled in the heart of a private vineyard.

Your day begins with a guided visit to a boutique winery in the rolling hills of Nemea, one of Greece’s most celebrated wine regions and the land of the legendary Agiorgitiko. After a warm welcome and a short tour of the estate, you’ll be transported to a nearby location of deep historical and oenological significance — Ancient Nemea, where wine and myth have shared the same soil for millennia.

There, at the highest point of the vineyard, inside a beautifully restored train carriage, you’ll indulge in a tasting of the winery’s premium labels, accompanied by a charcuterie board featuring local artisanal delicacies: cured meats, cheeses, olives, and more. This exclusive setup offers panoramic views, a sense of cinematic elegance, and complete privacy — an experience designed to appeal to all the senses.

A journey through time, place, and palate — this is wine tasting with a twist, reserved for those who seek beauty in every detail.
