Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey through ancient legends and exceptional wines as you explore the revered site of Ancient Nemea and enjoy a premium tasting at one of Greece’s most prestigious wineries.
Your day begins with a scenic drive through the Peloponnesian countryside, where gently rolling hills, sun-kissed vineyards, and ancient olive groves create a timeless landscape. Arriving at Ancient Nemea, step into the world of myth and heroism. Explore the Temple of Zeus, with its striking Doric columns, and walk the grounds of the ancient stadium, where the Nemean Games once rivaled the Olympic Games in scale and importance. As you wander these sacred grounds, you'll feel the echoes of athletes, priests, and spectators who once gathered in this place of honor and competition.
Next, your journey continues to the acclaimed Semeli Estate, a contemporary winery that perfectly blends modern design with ancient tradition. Situated at an altitude of 600 meters, the estate offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Nemea wine region. During your guided tour, you’ll discover the meticulous winemaking process that honors centuries of viticultural heritage, with a focus on the Agiorgitiko grape, also known as the legendary "Blood of Hercules."
Descend into the estate’s atmospheric cellar, lined with rows of aging oak barrels, where Semeli’s finest vintages slowly mature. Then, enjoy an exclusive tasting of seven exceptional wines, thoughtfully paired with regional delicacies that bring out the unique characteristics of each vintage.
This immersive experience blends history, mythology, natural beauty, and world-class wine into one enriching day—making "Ancient Mystique & Iconic Cellar Vintages" a must for lovers of culture and fine living.
