Wine regions
We have chosen three regions of the Peloponnese, which you can easily visit in a couple of days. A visit to the wineries here can be combined with a stay in a mountain village, and excursions to archeological sites, monasteries or museums.

The first reference to the wine tradition of the Peloponnese came from Homer who called it Ampeloessa, meaning "full of vines." Neither wars nor phylloxera were able to stop the production of wine here in one of the most historic wine regions of Greece. Spread throughout hillsides, plains and plateaus, the vineyards of the Peloponnese are known for their diversity and complexity
