After enjoying many wonderful wine varieties throughout Greece we scheduled this tour while in Crete and this personalized adventure helped to expand our knowledge and appreciation for Greek wines. Our guide and Sommelier "Areti" was very informative and took us to two different wineries in center of Crete where we sampled several varieties and food pairings both generous and delicious that we would likely never have experienced anywhere else. The day was relaxed and never rushed and included a few stops to enjoy some of the local ancient history related to wine making and other points of interest and flora along the way. We understand there are other routes and wineries to enjoy and hope to see some more in 2024!

We had a wonderful day with Areti on our tour. We were travelling with our 11month old son and both Areti and the two vineyards were so accommodating of him and made sure he was looked after as well as both parents. Areti was friendly and very knowledgeable about all the wines we tried. Food was delicious and the day went so smoothly. Would 100%recommend and we were delighted to hear we were the first tour of the year. Thanks again!

Areti was absolutely wonderful!!! She was so knowledgeable, kind and it felt like we were touring the island with a close friend. The wineries were stunning and the wine was of the highest quality. Each tasting was curated for us and we loved each and every wine we tasted. We were honored to take tours of the cellar areas and where they held the barrels and were blown away by their faacilities. The tastings were the perfect pace to taste, savor, learn and enjoy and we had Cretan cheese, verju, and dinner!! I loved the restaurant and felt like a family friend as if we frequented the restaurant many times before. The weather was perfect- cool but sunny and clear and peaceful all around. I would absolutely do this tour 10 times over and recommend it to all my friends and family!

We had the most amazing time with Areti for my 30th birthday. She is so knowledgeable about Crete, the wines and history of the vineyards we visited. She made us feel extremely comfortable in asking questions and learning about what we were tasting. We spent half a day with Areti and it went by so so fast. I can’t thank her enough I felt absolutely spoilt on this wine tour. Everything was so perfect, the wines, the food and the service at both vineyards. Thank you so much Areti!

My partner and I had a PHENOMENAL time with Areti. What a tour, we expected it to be amazing but somehow it surpassed even those expectations: good music, good conversation, great wines, and additional amenities. And the history in between stops, wow. We loved every moment. We had a wonderful week in Crete but this was our highlight.
