Wine grape harvesting and seminars
Costa Navarino offers its guests the opportunity to become acquainted with the Messinian and Greek wine culture, through a series of seminars and participation in the traditional wine harvesting process, which has been a significant part of people’s lives for centuries. Through a short distance trip to Navarino Vineyards between mid-August and mid-October, participants learn how the grapes are traditionally grown and harvested, hand-pick
the fruits and actively join the grape treading (taking place until mid-September). On specific dates guests have the chance to take part in the seminars given by Konstantinos Lazarakis MW, the only Greek Master of Wine (23-25/8 & 6-8/9).
