Corinth and Nemea Wine Roads
Embarking on our journey from Athens for Corinth and Nemea Wine Roads Private Tour, we’ll traverse the picturesque coastal route westward until we reach the iconic Corinth Canal, a notable divide between the Peloponnese and the broader expanse of Greece. A brief pause at the Corinth Canal precedes a 10-minute drive to the historic town of Ancient Corinth, where Saint Paul once preached and resided for approximately two years. Renowned for its wealth in ancient times, Ancient Corinth boasts remnants such as the Apollo Temple from the 6th century BC and the Ancient Agora.
Our next destination is Nemea, where we’ll navigate the local wine roads, home to more than 40 wineries. With a winemaking tradition spanning over 3500 years, Nemea stands as one of the largest winemaking regions in Greece. The region is particularly famed for producing some of the world’s finest wines, with the distinguished Ayoryitiko grape taking precedence as the noblest of Greek red grapes. Nemea, also known as “Agios Georgios” or St. George, witnessed the establishment of a cooperative by a group of wine growers in 1937. Presently, all wine-growers in the Nemea region are proud members of this association.
The Nemea Wine Cooperative Association has embraced modern technologies and advanced marketing methods, positioning itself at the forefront of the Greek and global wine industry. Visitors to Nemea are treated to an immersive experience, gaining insight into the meticulous winemaking procedures and cutting-edge technologies employed by the cooperative. For enthusiasts seeking to uncover the secrets behind delectable wines, Nemea stands as the ultimate destination, promising an exploration of both tradition and innovation in the world of wine.
