Nemea Wine in Nafplio — FAQ
What wine is Nemea known for?
Agiorgitiko, a soft, dark red grown on the Nemea plateau at 250–900 metres. The higher vineyards make structured wines for ageing, the lower ones fruitier bottles for drinking young; several estates also make rosé and sparkling from the same grape.
How much is a Nemea wine tour from Nafplio?
Group tastings with transport cost €80–€100, tours led by an oenologist about €175, and private van tours with tastings around €130 per person. Most include two or three estates and three to five wines at each.
Can you visit Nemea without a car?
Not easily — public transport to the estates is poor. A guided tour with transport from Nafplio is the practical option, and means you can taste properly rather than nursing one glass.
