brooks461  > Greece: April-May 2007 > Nemea
The Lonely Planet guide described a town of wineries, with a circuit to drive from winery to winery. Even with signs, we never found it. The town was so deserted that it was spooky. We guessed it wasn't wine and tourist season, if there ever is one. Still, we saw lots of vineyards and found one open winery.

brooks461 > Grapes and olives seem to be the only things growing in this valley.  Quiet and beautiful.
brooks461 > Vineyard in Nemea: classic church & town in back.
brooks461 > Olive grove with one poppy.  Olives are apparently harvested in January, so we didn't see any actual olives.
brooks461 > View from the hilltop winery into the valley below.  Beautiful.
brooks461 > We finally found this man near the loading dock of a hilltop winery.  He didn't speak English and we didn't speak Greek, but he took us in the back door, through the works of the winery, to a man who finally understood that we wanted to taste wines.  So using sign language, we tasted three wines and bought three bottles.  The place was set up for busloads, but we were the only ones there.
Grapes and olives seem to be the only things growing in this valley. Quiet and beautiful.
