We had the best experience! Lovely people, amazing wine and beautiful scenery. Highly recommended, we also came with a small child and they treated him very kindly. The Israelis who read treated us wonderfully, they really love the country and its people. Excellent wine, delicious food and all at a joke price. Highly recommended for those who want to treat themselves to a beautiful view, a homely and personal atmosphere.

If you are passing through Dafnes, you cannot miss a tasting at this exceptional winery. They have an excellent VIDIANO, but for our palate the TIERRA BLANCA is unbeatable because it combines Vidiano and local Moscato in an excellent way. We preferred to try the white wines, but the winery also offers reds and rosés. During the tasting, the owner explained to us in detail the origin of the vines and the production methods. Thank you for your courtesy and hospitality. Go ahead.

So good, we tasted a few wines and we had a pairing session with some cheese, almonds, but also a lot of local Greek food. Amazing. If you have to go to one place for tasting wine or real Greek food: this is it. Make a reservation on the website and go for it. It won’t disappoint you.

We discovered a family business that shared its know-how with us and presented its products in a friendly manner. Special mention for the liqueurs, which were very good.

It was an incredibly great experience and an absolutely successful trip. It is a family-run winery in a small, nice place called Dafnes, surrounded by grape fields. You definitely get more than you expect from the wine tasting. They take a lot of time, a very friendly lady who tells you about the different wines and spirits. I can only recommend this place to anyone who spends a few days on Crete.
