Once upon a time, a quirky little monastery stood where Nelion’s splendid vines now dance. At Nelion Winery, this charming relic sets the perfect stage for The Winemakers Secret.
— a delightful adventure filled with tales, tasty sips, and a sprinkle of exploration!
The nuns who lived there — known by locals as the Arkaes (from the Cypriot “archaies,” meaning ancient ladies) — vanished during the crusader invasions. They left behind whispers of a sacred blend…
…a secret that was never found.
When fragments of the old monastery were unearthed in the vineyards, they revealed symbols carved in stone.
Those relics are now part of The Arkaes’ Secret — Symbols, riddles, and real stone fragments from the old monastery guide your path through the winery.
The journey leads underground. Candles flicker in Nelion’s cellar as teams taste a mysterious, unlabeled wine.
No name. No story. Only a whisper:
“You will meet this wine again tonight.”
Back in the tasting room, the mood shifts. A series of bold pairings — smoky, spiced, daring.
Among them hides the same wine from the cellar.
Can your team recognize The Arkaes’ Elixir by taste alone?
When the mystery is solved, creativity takes over.
Each team designs a label for The Arkaes’ Elixir — a name, a symbol, and a story inspired by the night!
