A Taste of Cretan Wine Heritage

Crete boasts a millennia-old wine–making tradition that dates back to Minoan times, when wine was integral to daily life and cultural rituals. The island’s unique geography contributes to the complexity and finesse that characterizes authentic Cretan wines. Today, tradition is blended with innovation to craft wines of exceptional quality.

The Ultimate Wine Experience

As you relax in the peaceful garden, your knowledgeable hosts will introduce you to the world of Cretan grape varieties. Among others, you will discover the fruity notes of Vidiano and the velvety Kotsifali, with hints of cherry and spice. You will taste five selected Cretan wines, paired with an assortment of local delicacies, creating the perfect dinner. This intimate setting is the ideal backdrop for making wonderful memories with your friends and family.

While you’re relaxing with a glass of wine, basking in the fantastic views of vineyards and the sea, kids will have their own fun evening! They will be engaged in creative crafts, painting pots, planting seeds, gardening, and painting. That way, all ages will create memorable moments and experience firsthand Cretan culture and hospitality.

This is a unique, authentic glimpse into the soul of Crete. Don’t miss out!
