Wine Roads Tour
Corinth Canal,
Nemea, Nafplion (overnight
if you wish), Palamidi
Wine, offers its “delectable” world to a plethora of consumers,
connoisseurs and the uninitiated alike.
For its production, human knowledge and expertise combined with
the different grapevine varieties harmoniously collaborate
with climate, soil, and the topographical characteristics of
each area.
Mythology tells us that Oenotros was the
youngest son of Lykaon, King of Arcadia who lived many centuries
before the Trojan wars. Oenotros is said to be the first to
colonize a foreign place, which was named Oenotria (today's
Italy).
He brought civilization as well as the grapevine and
wine to
Europe.
There is no better
way to learn about the production of the famous
wines of Nemea
than to follow us on a trip which passes through the vineyards
where everything begins, continue into the aging cellars of the
Estates where the French and American oak barrels are located,
informed by a special projection about the wine region through
all the seasons of the year. The journey ends up inside their
tasting rooms where one will have the chance to taste the
internationally awarded wines of the Estates and also special
editions found only in their cellar rooms.
In the ancient site of
Nemea
the most notable building is the temple of Zeus (40c BC), The
archaeological digs (which are still going on ) have brought to
light baths and arenas, a stadium and foundations of other
buildings.
Continue for
Nafplion (first
capital city of Greece in modern time) through the fertile plain of Argolis, the picturesque town
nestling at the foot of a cliff crowned by the mighty ramparts
of the Palamidi Fortress.
If you desire an over night in a traditional hotel, located on the top of
the old city just under the castle), the picturesque town nestling at
the foot of a cliff crowned by the mighty
ramparts of the Palamidi
Fortress.
