"Wine Tasting Winery Experience & Guided Tour of Corinth"

We start from Athens and drive for about an hour along the beautiful seaside highway to Corinth. The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects Central Greece with the Peloponnese , while the canal that has been opened in it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth . It is about 6 kilometers long and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal was built (1880-1893). It was a strategic point and for this reason a wall had already been built since ancient times (end of the 5th century BC), which had been preserved until the Byzantines ( Hexamilion ).

The wine-growing region of Nemea is one of the largest and most important PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) zones in Greece, stretching from the Argolis and Corinthia, with the main variety being Agiorgitiko.
Seventeen villages define the zone and compose a unique area for wine, with different altitudes, type of soil and microclimate.
As part of our wine experience programs, which are designed and led by expert oenologists, visitors have the opportunity to taste a fine selection of older and more recent vintages at our cellar or tasting hall.
Includes tastings of four signature wines and a variety of cheese that showcase the two celebrated PDO regions of the Peloponnese, or highlight the blending of indigenous and locally grown international varieties.
The tour is about 60 minutes long and costs 15€-19€/per person.
May include other guests.

Corinth was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, systematic archaeological investigations of the Corinth Excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens have revealed large parts of the ancient city, and recent excavations conducted by the Greek Ministry of Culture have brought to light important new facets of antiquity.

The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, located in the archaeological site of ancient Korinthos, was built in 1932 by the American School of Classical Studies that conducted excavations in the area. The renovated building familiarizes the visitor with one of the most important ancient Greek cities. It exhibits Prehistoric collections, finds from the Asklepieion, and artifacts from the Geometric times until the Byzantine period. Τhe Τwin Kouroi from ancient Tenea, an exquisite sample of archaic plastic art, recently became part of the exhibition.

The temple of Apollo archair temple built of 40 monolithic Dorian columns with only seven of them maintained over the ruins of the ancient market.
The original temple dating back to between the early 7th and early 6th centuries BC. it was built of stone, bricks and wooden beams and carried a heavy and complex four-pitched roof made of clay tiles. It was probably a simple construction without external columns, while in other respects it brought occasion.
