Insider tips

  • ★The Nemea region's terroir mirrors California's Napa Valley; Greek wineries often offer smaller, family-run experiences with personal attention unavailable at larger commercial operations
  • ★Request your winery stops in advance if you have specific interests (white varietals, indigenous grapes, etc.) so the guide can tailor the itinerary

  • •Comfortable walking shoes essential; bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen) for the archaeological site
  • •Tour is suitable for most mobility levels at wineries, but Mycenae's terrain includes ancient stone steps and uneven ground
  • •Lunch is included; inform guide of dietary restrictions when booking
