Wine trails

9 stops · 1 week Achaea & Attica Greece taught Rome everything about wine. Walk where Plato's symposia debated philosophy over wine, visit vineyards that have made wine for 3,000 years, and taste Nemea's 'Blood of Hercules' in the valley where the hero slew the Nemean Lion. This is where Western wine civilization began. 9 stops · 1 week Aegean Islands Santorini's volcanic caldera produces some of the world's most distinctive white wines, while Crete — birthplace of Minoan civilization — has been making wine since before the Greeks had a written alphabet. Island-hop through wine history stretching back 4,000 years. 7 stops · 1 week Aegean Islands Trade Route Island-hop through the Aegean following ancient Phoenician trade routes: Santorini's volcanic Assyrtiko vineyards, the sacred island of Delos with Phoenician merchant evidence, and Rhodes' mountain wineries. This is where Phoenician maritime commerce met Greek island culture. 6 stops · 1 week Macedonia Wine Road Northern Greece is where the legends began — Alexander the Great's homeland, the birthplace of Aristotle, and the region where Greeks believe Dionysus himself invented wine. Xinomavro, the noble grape of Macedonia, produces reds that rival Barolo in complexity. 6 stops · 1 week Peloponnese Deep South The southern Peloponnese was Rome's gateway to Greece.
