“The wine and olive oil tasting tour was amazing and very well organised. I would definitely recommend doing this, especially if it’s your first time wine/olive oil tasting and you want to do something a little different. Our tour guide, Kostas, was very friendly and down to earth - he made everyone feel comfortable , told us many great stories and had lots of knowledge to share. Overall it was a great experience.”

Taste 15 Cretan wines, olive oil, local foods, and a gourmet lunch on a small-group tour from Heraklion, with hotel pickup included.
“We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was excellent, a safe driver and provided a wealth of interesting information about both the wine and Crete. The minibus was very comfortable so much more so than the back of a Land Rover. We loved the first vineyard. Such a beautiful setting. The daughter of the owner treated us like honoured guests. We didn’t enjoy the second vineyard quite as much not least because it was quite busy. Our group were treated as well as the other groups there before we arrived. The wines weren’t as good either but we enjoyed comparing them. The choice of taverna for lunch was very good.…”
