    My partner and I found this winery and it had good reviews so we decided to do the wine and olive oil tasting. Probably a little hard to get to unless you have your own vehicle, but well worth the 20 minute trip outside of Heraklion, set against gorgeous hillsides in a quiet location. We were greeted by our hostess Valia, more than looked after as the whole time we were there. We were the only people who had booked the time slot, so we have the place to ourselves. A really wonderful modern building with great views, would be perfect place to hold a party! We opted for the slightly more expensive option and were rewarded with 8 wines to sample (4 white, 1 rosé and 3 red) we enjoyed all of the wines, but we are predominantly red wine drinkers so preferred those and the rosé was excellent too. One of the white wines we really like so we were glad we got to try those as well. The olive oil tasting was enjoyable, we got to try two different olive oil on local freshly baked bread. The whole time we were well looked after by Valia, who gave a good explanation of each of the wines, and then left us alone to drink and discuss. The wine was served with a few nibbles, including a really excellent local smoked cheese. After we had finished, there was no pressure to buy any of the wines, but we had enjoyed it so much and the prices were so reasonable that we ended up buying five bottles to take home. One of the bottles of rosé we bought didn’t last the evening as we drank it in the hotel. All in all an excellent experience so glad we did it and we definitely return where to be in the area again. If you do go, I recommend taking the more expensive option, only cost a few euros more but trying all eight wines was amazing.

    Excellent wines, we bought three, which is unusual. From for prior wineries we had bought just one. The guided tour was a delight, the guide extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

    The wine tasting had a nice selection and our guide was very knowledgeable. However, the location was quite far from the cruise port, which made arranging taxi transportation difficult and left us feeling rushed. Also, they did not have my reservation in their booking system but I showed my online details and they were completely accommodating. Overall, a good experience but would have been more enjoyable with easier access.
