For Wine Lovers - I recently enjoyed a wine tasting and food pairing tour in Crete, and it was fantastic! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience both fun and educational. We sampled a wonderful selection of local wines, each perfectly paired with delicious Cretan dishes. The stunning views of the vineyards added to the charm of the day. I left with a greater appreciation for Cretan wines and we even bought a few to take home! If you're in Crete, this tour is a must—an excellent blend of culture, cuisine, and camaraderie!

Wonderful time exploring the wines of Crete - Our experience was fantastic! Areti was a great sommelier and guide. Crete is an up and coming wine producer on the world market. The quality of the wines did not disappoint and a great accompaniment to the food. A top notch experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Crete.

Just a lovely day! - We had a wonderful, relaxing private wine tour with Areti, who was both knowledgable about the wine and the area. The two vineyards selected presented us with a delectable range of local wines. Each vineyard had a strong vision driving their wine production. The food was simply delicious. We also had time for a relaxing walk in a beautiful local village, stopping for a drink and chat. We were picked up and returned to our hotel, so no effort required! Overall the day was fun and very good value - we fully recommend this to enhance your Crete holiday experience.

The highlight of our holiday in Crete! - We had the most fantastic day with Areti, visiting two vineyards with wine and food tastings. Areti picked up us from our hotel reception, and communication was clear ahead of the day. It was immediately evident how passionate Areti is both about Crete and wine. She answered my (many) questions about wine and more broadly about Crete and Greece. The wine tasting was tailored to our tastes, with Areti asking questions to better understand our preferences. The food was plentiful, I have a big appetite, and was unable to finish everything! By the end of the day Areti felt like a friend rather than a tour guide. There was no pressure to buy any wine from the vinyards, but Areti helped us choose a couple of bottles for us to enjoy that evening - which were both fantastic. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit Vinyards in Crete.

Amazing experience - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. My friend and I went to Crete not knowing much about it and learned so much. The wine and food was soo amazing and our guide was the absolutely best.

Perfect Wine Tour in Crete - I booked this tour for my wife and I for our honeymoon, as we were on a Norwegian cruise with a stop in Heraklion. I chose it because we both love wine and saw many great reviews, and I have to say it was definitely one of our highlights of Greece! Areti was a wonderful guide and knowledgeable sommelier. Both wineries were beautiful and had great wines. At the second winery, the food paired well with the wines was authentic and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this tour for any other couple(s) who want an authentic experience and glimpse into the wine culture of Crete. It is definitely worth your money over a cruise-sponsored excursion, especially with the privacy of not sharing the tour with a large group. We hope to visit Crete again in the future to further explore the rich culture of the island.
