The experience

Nemea is Greece's largest and oldest wine region, known for the deep red Agiorgitiko: a variety found nowhere else in the world. You'll visit one or two of the region's wineries by private transport from Nafplio, moving through the cellars to see how the wine is made from fruit harvest through fermentation to bottling. At each stop, you'll taste the wines produced there and ask questions as you go. The guide walks you through the whole process and explains how each winery operates.

The tasting itself is the core of the activity: you'll sample wines and spend time mingling at the winery, experiencing how they're made rather than just reading about them. If you want to add a second winery to your booking, you can choose that at checkout and taste a different producer's range. The archaeological site of ancient Nemea, where Hercules killed the Nemean Lion according to myth, sits nearby. You can add that visit as well, which includes the Temple of Zeus.

Private transport means no shared van or fixed group schedule. The guide picks you up from your Nafplio hotel and the timing fits your day. The activity suits all fitness levels, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller if needed.
