Knowledgeable, friendly and fun staff who gave really well informed tour and wine tasting which was matched with some local meats and cheeses. The wine was great and the setting superb. My only issue was having to drive home. Should have booked a taxi as I could’ve happily tasted a good few drops more

Amazing experience!

When in Crete a must visit, if you like wine. Tasteful selection paired with a stunning surrounding. A special thanks to Maria, who delightfully toured us around, and introduced us to the samples.

We visited the Scalaria winery during our honeymoon trip to Crete and did a wine tasting. The site was easy to access from the highway and there was a parking area right at the front. The staff were all very kind and made the experience very educational. The views from the winery were spectacular, and the history of the winery was very interesting. The wines were all very tasty, so much so that we chose to purchase 12 bottles to be shipped back to our home in the US. We would highly recommend visiting the Scalaria winery when visiting Crete as a way to learn more about the wine culture within Greece.
