Step-by-step itinerary

Nemea wine gathering and Corinth stop

• Stop at Corinth Canal viewpoint
• Experience Nemea wine and Greek delicacies
• Enjoy sourdough bread with olive oil

The experience

The winery sits in Nemea, and the gathering starts with a stop at Corinth Canal: a short detour to see the engineering and the view before you arrive. Once there, a guide walks you through the winery and the tasting itself, pairing each ancient variety with Greek food chosen to match it: not the wine chosen after the meal, but the meal built around what you're drinking. The guide speaks English or Hebrew and stays with the group for the full three hours.

A step-by-step tasting leads through the Nemean varieties (grapes with characteristics specific to the region) each one matched to delicacies that bring out what makes it distinct. Lunch is included and built into the pairings. A special addition arrives as sourdough bread dipped into Koroneiko extra virgin olive oil, bitter and spicy with full aroma. Bottled water comes throughout. The winery is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are allowed.

You'll need your own way to the winery. The experience itself does not include transportation from Corinth or your hotel. The minimum age is 18. The gathering suits food and wine lovers and anyone wanting to get close to Greek gastronomy and culture through taste rather than through a lecture.
