Cretan Wine Route |
Europe & Zeus and Wine |

! Crete has some truly interesting native varieties and some excellent family-owned wine producers where we take our visitors. The visit of the selected wineries, the study of winemaking process of each producer and visit to the cellar is combined with the history of the winemaking on Crete (from Minoan times to nowadays) during our tours as well as lunch, of course. The tour is guided by the wine expert - a professional tour guide that allows you to make the most out of different aspects of the wine experience.
Either an ingredient to your customised tour or an experience on its own right, do make sure you do not leave Crete without tasting some of its superb local wines! Exotic-sounding 'vilana', 'kostifali', 'vidiano' are only some of the Cretan indigenous, very special varieties. A visit to a local wine-maker would fit naturally when exploring the Cretan countryside and a wine tasting can be easily included in your tour itinerary:
- Enjoy the beautiful landscape of Crete's winemaking region
- Learn about indigenous Cretan wine varieties
- Discover the history of local wines and winemaking
- Sample a selection of fine Cretan wines
- Experience Cretan lunching traditions and truly unforgettable meal
- This is a private tour and may be modified along the way
