Delicious wine tasting! - Excellent experience. Tasted a selection of white, red and rosé wine. With a clear explanation for each glass. Tip: order the plate with snacks, that completes it.

amazing experience, i would 100% recommend! - me and my boyfriend had a fantastic time at the wine tasting! The atmosphere was very welcoming, and we would like to thank the lady who told us so much interesting information about the wines. The selection of cretan wines was diverse and paired perfectly with a cheese platter. We left with a deeper appreciation for wine and would definitely recommend the experience to others. Highly satisfied!

Great wine tasting - Tasting in the stunning village outside Heraklion is a Recommendation for non-wine lovers. You can also drink more than 6 wines (about 80ml each, adjustable), mainly regional varieties.

Definitely worth a visit! - We got the tasting for free because we stayed at the AirBnb of the owners of the winery and it was really really lovely! The village itself is very cute too. delicious wines, a lot to try, very ambitious expert explaining us everything. The food plate with cheese, meats, olives, tomatoes, fava beans cream and marmalade was 100 points, so I can def. recommend ordering it extra for 15€. In the end one of the owners visited the winery and had a chat with us too. Lovely experience!

An afternoon outside of the city in a peaceful setting with great wine and staff. - We contacted the winery directly as we were on a cruise ship and needed a driver. We had arranged in advance with them and the driver was waiting for us at the terminal in a taxi with our name on it. He was very nice and punctual. We paid 60 euros round trip for the four of us (plus tip). The wine tasting was 18 euros a piece. The drive out was very pretty (about 45 min. each way). I very much appreciated their help on e-mail as we are not hooked in to What's app (which you could call the driver on your own) and loved that they arranged it for us. There are many good wines and they give good pours. The lady running the tour was excellent and friendly and very accommodating. We got to try some extra wines as they had a party the night before so there were some other wines we got to try. We loved all the wines and bought Taxic (spelling), it isn't exported but you can buy it local. We didn't get to sample the sparkling brut but did buy two bottles and they were excellent. We didn't buy a platter but she did give us some cheese and crackers. The tables were full of guests but did not appear crowded and we all had fun. The facility and grounds were also fun. The staff were wonderful and our whole experience was perfect. We went to several wineries on a two and half week tour of Greece and Turkey and this winery was one of our top two!! 10/10pluss. Book ahead and go, you won't be disappointed. They respond to emails promptly. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality!
