The three day trip to Sofia tis Fisis in Nemea (Wisdom of Nature) HQ, Greece is for two persons and includes the following: two overnight stays at House Venikos, breakfasts, picnics, dinners, wine tastings, visit of Sofia tis Fisis, visit of wineries, visit of the temple of Hercules and a visit of the Corinth Canal.
This trip is an excellent opportunity to visit one of the most famous areas in the Peloponnese -where most of our producers are based – give you an overview of the area’s history and heritage, visit ancient sites as well as wineries and try local food and wine. Nemea has been a viticulture area since antiquity. Today, this tradition is continued by veteran vine and wine growers possessing a deep knowledge of the region, passed from generation to generation as well as young producers that have invested in education and technology.
This tour is a wonderful opportunity to witness these centuries of experience as well as how viticulture is inseparable to the life and development of the local society. Wisdom of Nature, the company that has been supplying us with grape products, only produce organic products, without preservatives or additives and their production unit runs according to the latest quality assurance systems. They mainly use the variety “Agiorgitiko” (St George’s, a flagship)
Greek wine variety, integrated into the myth and history of the local region of Nemea, Peloponnese, as well as its local culture and legends of Hercules. After all this essential information about the trip as well as the area, it’s time to announce our winner: Congratulations to Sandra and Gerald! We are wishing them the best of time, can’t wait to read their review of the trip and see the lovely photos.
Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this competition a success. We really enjoyed reading your reviews and appreciated your thoughtful input. We are glad that most of you really liked the spread and used it in a number of brilliant ways. It seems that having it on bread, pita or crackers (loved the potato bread idea from our Finnish friends, of course!) was the most popular way as well as with charcuterie and cheese (where you mentioned pairing it with smoked goat’s cheese as well as blue cheese). You enjoyed in salads –mostly potato salad, pasta, fish and meat dishes. We found the idea of combining it with smoked salmon on rye bread superb as well as the one with roast chicken and steamed Romanesco.
Stay tuned for our next contest!
