Learn the secrets of wine, how they produce and how it ages.
Know how to choose a good wine, how to pair it, how to serve it, the right temperatures, and how to store it.

We have selected some of the best wines of our region to create a unique experience for wine lovers.

Taste the indigenous varieties of Crete such a Dafni Kotsifali, Liatiko, Vidiano, Vilana, Thrapsathiri, Pluto, Malvasia di Candia, Muscat of Spina or of the local with International varieties such a Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

It was an amazing experience due to the excellent choice of the wineries and the other places we visited (a pottery place and an olive oil factory). Our guide Spyros was an opened book and really polite. It is a highly recommended tour.
