Additional Information

Attention all aficionados of wine and spirits, we present to you this bespoke tour! A journey that amalgamates all the exclusive products of Crete! The zones you will encounter are renowned for their vineyards, olive orchards, and wine production dating back to the Minoan era. They still represent the most significant areas in Greece for the cultivation of grapes and superior olive oil. The first halt is at a contemporary local olive mill. You will have an expedition around the olive grove followed by a tour of the olive mill. There, you’ll have the opportunity to partake in olive oil tasting. Naturally, the second pitstop is a winery. An organically managed family-owned winery is on the plan. Receive an excursion around the vineyards and the winery and participate in wine tasting involving 4 distinct types of wine. Then we move to an exclusive raki distillery and later to an ancient wine press. Discover the distillery, enjoy raki and wine tasting as well as a customary lunch, and finally wind up the trip at a pottery lab nestled in a traditional hamlet known for its pottery.

Fantastic experience ! - The tour was just fantastic ! First we drove to an olive oil mill where we learned about the production and production of olive oil, then we drove on to a winery where we could taste great Cretan wines and enjoyed a great view. Our highlight was clearly the raki distillery - the Owner of the raki distillery is such an interesting and nice man- he welcomed us very warmly , there we got a guided tour and then got tasty snacks and some rakis to taste . Afterwards we went to a Cretan tavern where we got lunch (the food was all very tasty and there was delicious white wine and then a raki again) At the end of the tour we went to a pottery shop. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know the typical Cretan culture better and are not interested in 08/15 . Our rider and companion of the Tour Antonis was very nice and informed us well about the Cretan culture. Thanks for that!😊 If we are in Crete again we would definitely book the tour again ! Keep it up!😀

A must for wine/olive oil lovers and people new to wine as well - We had a fantastic time, it was just the two if us and our guide Antonius was fantastic. He gave us great information and the locations he chose were fantastic. Not a single complaint throughout, he was attentive and we learnt so much about olive oil and the wine of crete which we were also given a tour of. A must for wine lovers and people who are new to wine as well. The olive oil portion of the tour was great and we were shown how the machines operated. The lunch at the end of the tour was also delicious. Absolutely fantastic experience.
