Spend eight hours tasting Cretan wine, olive oil, raki, and local food while meeting family producers and trying traditional pottery.
“WOW! This tour was everything we’d hoped it would be and more. George (Yorgos) was our tour guide and his knowledge of the island, the history, wine making, olive oil production, pottery production, local life and customs, and his warmth and friendliness were astounding. The places we visited were fantastic - off the beaten path and 100% local, no tourist traps in sight! We would never have known about or found this places if Yorgos hadn’t taken us there on the tour.

Taste Cretan street food, coffee, raki, cheese and souvlaki while exploring Chania’s Venetian harbor and old-town lanes with a private guide.
“Fantastic tour of the old town with Adonis (spelling?). We did not leave hungry! He went over and beyond to accommodate us. We loved Chania, walked through the labyrinth of the old city with Adonis sharing the history. He spread out our walk, after the first three tastings, which helped us to make room for the next couple of tastings. Enlightening to learn about and experience various traditional Greek foods.”
Taste Cretan food at six local stops on a small-group evening walk through Rethymno Old Town, with raki, baklava, wine, and lokma.
“Our guide Virginia knew the town so well and introduced parts of the town to us that we may not have seen otherwise. She had great connections with the local restaurants and they all treated us like VIPs! She is very personable fun to be around and makes it more like Friends going out for dinner together and exploring than something more formal. We tasted different types of foods and by the time we finished, we couldn’t eat another bite! Wines were good and we were glad to be introduced to local food and wine. Definite five star rating! This is the best food and wine to arrive done among…”
