Everything you need to know before you experience wine tastings and tours in Peloponnese.
Wine tastings and tours in Peloponnese are a great way to learn about winemaking techniques in this historical wine region of Greece. Before the real wine tasting experience, you will be accompanied by winemakers around the estate for a visit to the cellar room, the ageing room and in some cases you will get to taste wine directly from the ageing barrels.
Then, as you discover the whole background of wine production in Peloponnese, you will get to sit in the tasting room to have some wine paired with amazing Greek food, such as cheese, olives and honey.
When you go for wine tastings and tours in Peloponnese, you can’t miss tasting:
- Moschofilero white wine. This wine is typical of central Peloponnese and it has a wide range of aromas and characteristics. The main notes are those of melon, pink grapefruit, lemon and almonds. Dryness and body can change depending on the ageing period that sometimes can be more than 10 years.
- Agiorgitiko red wine. A fruity, Merlot-like wine that is very popular in Nemea district, close to the city of Corinto. Its main aromas are those of red and black fruits, plum and spices such as oregano.
