This was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Crete, wine, olive oil, and honey. We visited two wineries and had an amazing lunch in Archanes. We really cannot recommend this enough.

Me and my partner had the most amazing time on the gourmet wine tour. Our guide Pierre, was brilliant and went out of his way to make sure we had the best day. It doesn't matter if you don’t know a lot about wine Pierre has all the information you need.

The first winery we visited was the Stilianou winery which was ran by a small family and was definitely our favourite of the 3 as it was very personal. The second winery was more commercial but the views were amazing. The last winery was in a lovely village and the service was incredible. We even tasted some olive oil and honey which was a lovely touch to end our tour. Also, we had some lovely food and even more wine which was pared with the different dishes we tried.

Whether you’re new to wine tasting or an expert I would definitely recommend this tour! it is definitely a must do whilst you are visiting Crete.

Thanks again Pierre

Excellent wine tour. The tour guide picked us up at our hotel in Agios Nikolaos and took us to two different but distinct wineries and we ended in Archanes where we had an excellent 5 course meal with wine pairing (full glasses). The guide had immense knowledge about Cretan and international wines and was full of information that made the tour more enjoyable. Would recommend this tour to anyone who likes learning about and drinking wine.

Wonderful day exploring Cretan wine and food with a guide who is passionate about wines and local culture. Really exceeded expectations. We've done a lot of food and wine tours over the years and I can confidently say this was the best experience and best value.

Both the wineries and the restaurant were welcoming and generous with both their knowledge and their wines.

Cannot recommend this enough. If wine is your passion and you are in Crete schedule a day, you won't be disappointed.
