Write a reviewWe had a really good time! All the staff were super prepared and the ambiance was amazing!
Even with a non pleasant weather, the farm is beautiful and the place where we have been is very welcoming. The visit was amazing and the taste of Greek wines was quite a good experience. They were fantastic hosts!
What a lovely winery! My wife and I visited during our honeymoon in late September and chose to book the wine tasting and picnic lunch ahead of time. We arrived and were given a private tour of the cellar with a welcome glass of wine and a lesson on the winery's history. We were a little worried about lunch since there were many other tourists visiting that day. But, we were shown to a private table under an olive tree set away from the other tasting areas. We had a totally private lunch with three glasses of different local wines that were introduced by one of the staff. Each glass of wine had multiple food options paired with it and we were able to hear a breif descirption of how each variety would pair with different flavors. After the introduction, my wife and I were left to enjoy a private lunch at our own pace and experiment with different wine/flavor combinations. The lunch finished with a dessert paired with a semi-sweet sparkling wine that was truly delicious. Our host gifted us the rest of the bottle as a honeymoon gift which really warmed our hearts. We took the bottle with us to Santorini and enjoyed the perfect flavors there. This winery is definitely worth making time for when in Crete!

Beautifull winery trully. Lots of spaces to enjoy a tasting. It is a commercial winery though with a lot of tourist. Food was good. The wines of the tastings were oke. But the experience is tailored to tourists. Tasting costs 18 euro for 5 smaller tastings or 25 euro for 7 tastings. Google maps will send you through small roads dont go there its sandy with holes. Stick to the highway from Heraklion.

Great atmosphere and very good service. The tour was entertaining and informative. The tasting that followed was also well organized and took place in a great atmosphere. The prices for the tasting and all optional dishes were absolutely fair. And most importantly...the wine was of course delicious!
