We took a cool picture in the middle of the trunk. Our next stop was one of the coolest wineries that I have been to. I loved that it also had olive oil. It was an amazing pairing. Good food and great wine. The next winery was a boutique winery that had really good wines and fresh food to pair with it. We saw how they made, bottled, and labeled the wine. The owner added…”

(So roughly 5 hours drive) and it well worth it! Our guide was Nicholas. He is a young pleasant gentleman, very knowledgeable, polite with great sense of humor and excellent work ethic. Everything was very well timed and organized. They under promised and over achieved. You can’t go wrong by choosing this tour, highly recommended!!!”

The small group setting was a perfect way to feel attended to and pampered. The tour gave us a wonderful way to wonder through less travelled roads/alleyways that lay adjacent to the more touristy areas. And the food was fresh, inventive and delicious! Ending the tour with an island sunset punctuated the evening in the most delightful way. I recommend everyone who comes to Chania do this tour.”

Meet chemist and winemaker Andreas in Fres village, 25 minutes from Chania, for a 90-minute tasting of six Cretan wines. Sample Vidiano, Muscat of Spina, Retsina, Liatiko, Romeiko, and Fokiano dessert wine with local cheese, rusks, and olives while learning about Crete’s wine traditions and modern production.

“It was absolutely an incredible experience. Andreas was excellent at explaining the history and the making of wine. He’s very knowledgeable about the chemistry of wine and how it can taste on the palate. The olives were our favorite snack and they are homemade! The pairing of the jam annd cheese was the perfect touch of salty sweet. Every wine was incredible but our favorite wine was made in house. I would highly recommend checking this out if you are in the area. It’s a beautiful drive and the scenery is very nice.”
