Nemea
Nemea got its name from the nymph Nemea, daughter of the river Asopus. In the plains of Nemea, viticulture and winemaking has a tradition of thousands of years, with particularity in the Agiorgi grape, which borrowed its name from the settlement of Agios Georgios, a name that Nemea kept until the beginning of the 20th century. The wines of the region, with an intense, deep ruby ​​color and an aroma reminiscent of noble spices, are considered among the best in the Peloponnese. Varieties of wines that can be found in the area are the fox, the white, the Sabbatiano, the Rhoditis and also cosmopolitan varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc) as well as reds (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot... etc.).
Wine Festival
At the end of August - beginning of September, in Nemea "Ampeloesa" a wine festival is organized with the participation of local wine producers. During the three days, which are the Great Days of Nemea, various cultural (theatre, choirs) and musical events take place in the neighborhoods and squares of the city. At the same time, there is an exhibition of wines from local producers, while the visitor can follow various routes in the vineyards of the area. Every day the winemakers' bus takes visitors on a free tour of the vineyards.
Since 1997, the Agricultural Technical - Vocational School has been operating in Nemea with a modern system of agricultural education on viticulture and winemaking aimed mainly at young people from rural families, high school graduates.
The Nemea
In the summer of 1996, after an effort by the Local Government and the American School of Archaeology, the Nemean Games were revived after 2,300 years with the aim of preserving the ancient Greek sporting ideal. Thousands of spectators and athletes attend the games to experience the greatness of the noble rivalry. Nemea became famous from the labor of Hercules, the extermination of the lion that was ravaging the area. The participants in the races follow the same steps of the mythical hero, from Kleones to Nemea, through a unique route of olive groves and vineyards.
The custom of Psychokoris
On the night of Christmas Eve, the residents of Nemea put plastic branches over the fireplaces, cover the sweets with aluminum foil and wash well so that the goblins don't pee on them. On Christmas morning, after church, the teenage daughter of the family serves the traditional sweets of Nemea on a plate (kourabiedes, melomakarona, diples, spoon sweets... etc) and offers liquor to the man of the family.

At the groom's house, friends with his father put on his underwear upside down so that he won't be seen, wash him upside down 3 times with water and shave him while singing. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the groom starts for the church with songs and dances.

The lyrics of the songs refer to strangeness, love, freedom.. The most popular song that is sung in Gem is: "You birds of the plain and the sea, you always pass by our place / letter, I have to give you a small letter to go to my good love not to wait for me and to punish me because I was married in Armenia. I got Armenotopoula, a wicked witch/ She bewitches the ships and they don't come, she bewitched me too and I don't come/ I take the road to come, mud and water/ I turn back again sun and sea".
