What to expect

Spend an afternoon in the Cretan countryside exploring wine and olive oil. This is a great immersion into Cretan wine. Visit two family-owned wineries, walk through vineyards (photo op!), learn how to taste wine, enjoy 11 different wines with snacks. The wineries make a great mix of wines from local indigenous grape varieties as well as international grapes you'll be familiar with. There's also a stop at the oldest olive tree in the world. Your guide is a true wine professional. We are wine people doing tours, not tour people doing wine. This is an educational experience and lots of fun, too.
