A very nice, private wine tour with only another couple with us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The five wine tasting was the best I ever had dissecting the aroma and taste of each wine. Highly recommend the Titakis Winery!

The driver was amazing, so good at telling us everything about Heraklion! The winery was stunning such a nice break from the beach.

The winery was beautiful, the wine was good, and we liked the driver. However, they picked us up an hour late and shortened the tour from 3 hours to 2 hours. When we arrived at the winery, there was no one to greet us. We stood there awkwardly for 5 minutes until someone finally asked us what we were doing there. They then said someone will be with you in 5 minutes. After we were seated, we had 4 pours. They were incredibly weak. Between the two of us, we probably had 50ml of wine per pour, just a splash. It was not the Greek hospitality I've experienced everywhere else in Crete. I would not recommend.

Your reservation time means nothing.
The transfer was hour and a half late and they didn't even inform us. When we asked for explenations the owner was very rude telling us to find another way to get to the winery. For the return we also had to wait for an hour because we were supposed to return with another couple that came about a hour after us. The winery was amazing and the driver was very nice but please do yourself a favor just take a taxi

This is a great experience if you’re someone who wants to learn more about wine and are willing to get off your high horse (as some of the other reviews suggest otherwise!)
The vineyard is stunning. You get the opportunity to sit in a beautiful elevated patio overlooking the sensational Cretian mountains and vineyard.
You’re also told some information about the wines (we tried 5 in total), and get a complimentary charcuterie board which compliments the flavours nicely.
All in all, a great experience. Would recommend!

The experience started off great; we were picked up in a land rover by a very kind and welcoming lady, Angela, who was a delight to talk to. When we arrived, we were ushered into a building to read about the grapes and told we would be seated thereafter. We werent. When we left the building, there was no one at reception and when someone did arrive, they asked "yes?". We had to remind them to seat us. The tour is not private, you are seated on your own table with a waiter rushing you through 5 tasting glasses. Our waitress was nice and tried to do her job well, but wasnt well informed on the wine or try to 'entertain' or talk to us whatsoever. You are then pretty much ignored and the tour of the vineyard is maximum 10 minutes, in a group and rushed. Would not recommend. Angela was the only positive part.

Lovely afternoon. Our driver George was extremely informative and personable. The drive gave me an opportunity to see more of Crete and get out into the countryside. The vineyard specialises I’m local varietals which makes it an even more unique experiences. Highly recommended
