Wine Adventure Tour

We meet you at 8:45am from your hotel or villa in Chania.

As we head west to the cave of Saint John the Hermit, you will learn about the history of Crete and how it has affected the culture and wines. We explore the cave and churches and can drink the healing holy water.

Time for the olive oil tasting! A short drive away is BIOLEA ESTATE olive oil mill where we will taste and  learn how they make their award-winning organic stone-milled  cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. You’ll also learn what to look for on a label to be sure you’re getting high quality olive oil. The views from the mill are fantastic and a great place for pictures.

Next we stop at the oldest olive tree in the world! With our newly acquired information about the olive oil process, we can better understand the methods and equipment we find there.

It’s time for wine tasting! We head to Karavitakis Winery.  You will learn how to taste wine like a professional. Six wines are sampled and a snack of local aged graviera cheese, olives, and rusks is served. 

We save the best for last! A privately guided tour through Manousakis Winery where you will learn all about winemaking. Explore the fermentation floor and the barrel room before we taste through the most awarded wines of Chania. A full lunch with appetizers, salad, and main dish, and dessert is served. Even more wine is served with lunch! 

Finally, with a full belly (and a slight buzz!) we return you safely to your accommodation in Chania.
