6Nemea – Land of Agiorgitiko
Located in the Peloponnese, Nemea is Greece’s largest red wine-producing region and is renowned for Agiorgitiko, often referred to as the “Blood of Hercules.” This robust, ruby-red grape thrives in the region’s fertile valleys and rolling hills.
Autumn is the perfect time to visit, as many wineries open their doors for tastings and harvest festivities. Drive through scenic villages like Koutsi or Ancient Nemea, where archaeological ruins and wineries sit side by side. Wines here range from soft and fruity reds to bold, age-worthy bottles—perfect for sipping beside a fireplace when the evenings turn cool.
