    This place is absolutely amazing! Located in a very cute town and on beautiful grounds, it is picturesque. We did the olive oil and wine tasting combo, which was super fun and educational. We learned about how olive oil is made, how to determine flavors, etc and tasted excellent olive oils made from this establishment. A ltitle nosh is served with this. Then we did the wine tasting with local wines from Crete and learned more about what grapes thrive in the area. This was also a lot of fun and interesting. A beautiful charcuterie board with local offerings was provided with this portion and it was delicious! They have an excellent store with their own oil and balsamic along with other local goodies. AND they ship abroad so one stop shopping!

    This is a lovely place! We had an informative tour around the facility. It was brief because it was raining so we could not see the entire farm. It was also early shoulder season in March so they did not appear to be fully open. Nonetheless the staff was attentive and incredibly friendly. They allowed us to taste all their products and easily aided in shipping across seas. They gave recommendations for other places to visit and even left us with a generous parting gift. So nice!

    Fantastic experience with olive oil tasting with very interesting information and then a tour of the factory followed by the wine tasting with tasty snacks. Afterwards the opportunity to shop in their store. Highly recommend the fine balsamic vinegar flavored with honey and thyme as well as the delicious olive marmalade.

    We saw a leaflet for this experience in our hotel and decided to book direct. We then asked the company to book us return transport, Maria did this for us so the whole booking experience was vey easy and fast. On the day our transport arrived on time, we were taken to the estate and began with olive oil tasting. We were taught about the different olive oils and how to smell the aromas and identify tastes, using apples to palate cleanse. We then had a taste of a jacket potato with beautiful extra virgin olive oil, salt and oregano which was the nicest way to eat a potato I’ve ever experienced. We then went onto the wine tasting which involved trying 5 different wines along with a plate of local delicacies - everything was so beautiful and enjoyable, we felt very relaxed and we were made to feel at home by all of the staff. Even though we have done this, I would do it again.
