Guided Walk Through the Nemea Vineyards with Tasting

What it is

A way to see Nemea without a car between one winery and the next: ten kilometres on foot, in a loop, among vineyards and dirt tracks to the chapel of Panagia tou Vrachou, the Virgin of the Rock, tucked under some rock formations that locals call the Meteora of Corinthia. From above you can see the whole Nemea valley. The route ends at a local winery with a tasting of four wines, mostly agiorgitiko.

Who it suits

It is easy, level 1 out of 5, with only 70 metres of ascent; you walk for three or four hours. Over-18s only, because of the tasting. The outing requires a minimum of six people: if there are fewer of you, ask whether there is a group already formed.

Price and booking

From €55 per person, in groups of six or more. It includes an English-speaking Trekking Hellas guide, the tasting, photos and insurance. It does not include lunch, entry to the site or transfer from the hotel. Meet at 10:00 at the Virgin of the Rock; finish around 15:00. The same company runs another route to Polyfengo castle and the chapel, of four hours, from €50.
