Nemea and Agiorgitiko
Nemea is Greece’s largest red-wine appellation, in the hills of Corinthia, and it is built almost entirely on one native grape, Agiorgitiko – “St George” – which makes soft, dark-fruited reds from easy-drinking to serious, oak-aged bottles. The vineyards climb from the valley floor to high slopes, and the wines change with the altitude. Most tours visit two estates, from big modern wineries to small family cellars, with a tasting and often a lunch.
Mantinia, and wine with antiquity
Higher and cooler, the Mantinia plateau near Tripoli grows Moschofilero, a pink-skinned grape that makes a floral, crisp, low-alcohol white – the Peloponnese’s other signature. And because this is the Peloponnese, the wine comes wrapped in history: tours pair the cellars with the ancient stadium and Temple of Nemea, or with Mycenae and Epidaurus, so a wine day doubles as a history day.
How to visit
From Athens the vineyards are about ninety minutes, a comfortable full-day trip with transport; from the seaside town of Nafplio they are a half-day. Harvest is late August into September. For city tastings first, see our Athens wine page.
