Palivos Winery and Its Train Carriage Among the Vines

What it is

The Palivos family winery is in Archaia Nemea, 800 metres from the Sanctuary of Zeus, in the middle of its 50 hectares of vineyard. The visit starts among the vines, continues through the winery and the ageing room, with 300 barrels of French and American oak, and ends with a tasting of its wines, from agiorgitiko and international varieties. What sets it apart is the Wine Train: an old train carriage, restored and placed high in the vineyard, where you taste with local products and a view over the valley.
