The time and effort that is put into this tour is amazing. Petros had so much knowledge and you can really tell he cared we felt relaxed. We were picked up from our hotel and then visited 3 wineries with 16 wines in total. The first supplied a selection of cheeses and the second oils with bread. A 4 course lunch with a wine pairing and olive oil tasting was then provided at the third place. I have some food allergies and they catered for me without it affecting the meals for anyone else. Overall worth every penny and Petros and all the staff at all the venues were wonderful. Thank you!

Highly recommend this trip. Petros was an excellent guide, not only educating us on the wine, but also about Crete and its history. Each of the two wineries offered different insight into the classic and modern takes on Cretan wine. And the last restaurant was delicious! Don’t miss out!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our wine tour and lunch. It was a great way to see and taste more of Crete than we would have experienced on our own. The lunch was amazing! It was in a cute little town and more food than we could eat, and it was all delicious. The wine on the tour was also good, a variety of whites and reds.
