Great Days of Nemea 2025 September 5-7

The Great Days of Nemea, one of the premier events in the Greek wine industry, will mark its twenty-first anniversary this year. Held in Nemea, Greece’s largest wine-producing region, which encompasses 17 villages, these events celebrate the area’s rich viticulture.

The festivities feature winery visits, tastings, thematic sessions led by wine experts, and a variety of artistic events. Organised by the Nemea Wine Producers’ Association (S.O.N.) and the Municipality of Nemea, the Great Days of Nemea are dedicated to preserving and promoting PDO Nemea wines, particularly those crafted from the local Agiorgitiko variety, while also boosting wine tourism in the region.

We invite you to visit Nemea, where you can delve into the secrets of the vineyards and explore the diverse expressions of Agiorgitiko. Tour the wineries and meet the passionate wine producers behind their wines.
