NEMEA WINERY TOUR & PREMIUM WINE TASTING
Wine Tour Experience at Gaia Wines Nemea
Just an hour and a half from Athens and minutes from Nafplio, in the historic village of Koutsi, GAIA’s Nemea winery sits at the crossroads of unique travel and wine experiences. A proud member of the Wine Routes of the Peloponnese, our estate occupies one of the most esteemed crus of the PDO Nemea zone — home to our GAIA Estate and GAIA S labels, and to Nemea’s flagship red grape, Agiorgitiko. Today, this working winery welcomes wine lovers, nature enthusiasts, and history buffs alike, offering a complete look at Greek winemaking from vine to bottle, set against the semi-mountainous landscape that gives Agiorgitiko its distinctive structure and aging potential.
Your Tasting Experience
Enjoy a guided tasting (4 to 7 wines) from both our Nemea and Santorini vineyards. Walk through our vineyards, tour our production, bottling, and barrel-aging facilities, and discover what makes Agiorgitiko one of Greece’s most age-worthy reds. Each visit lasts approximately 1 hour and welcomes both individual visitors and small groups.
For a deeper dive into the region, ask about our ‘Village Flavors’ experience: a 2-hour, wine-paired lunch featuring rustic Peloponnesian dishes by private chef Konstantinos Georgiou, created in partnership with Feel The Roots.
Pricing
Tastings start from €20 per person, up to €70 per person for premium flights.
