A really great garden around the house. The ladies are very friendly and describe their wines very nicely. English is no problem. You can come by any time for a 5 or 8-part wine tasting. We only had a couple of starters for dinner, but it was one of the best I had on Crete. Highly recommended.

Our visit to Dourakis Winery was memorable. We took the tasting of 5 wines. The white wines (with indigenous grape varieties) charmed us. The employees were attentive and the portions generous. We recommend ♥️

Great discovery. Great moment in all simplicity. Warm welcome, the wines are well explained in English and are good, with local grape varieties that are different from what we are used to finding in France. Generous tasting. Thank you for this good time.

Best wines in the eastern part of Crete. Pass by for a wine tasting and grab a couple of bottles to drink while on vacation. The production is small and of high quality.

I stopped by for a tasting. Because it pours so much I also ordered some Cretan food. It was very delicious. The olive oil on the bread was also delicious so I got that with the wine.
