About this activity

This exclusive private wine tour is a journey through the heart of Crete’s wine country, blending elegance, authenticity, and local tradition. You’ll visit two family-owned wineries, each representing a different face of Cretan winemaking — the organic, boutique Stilianou Estate and the historic Titakis Winery, known for its timeless craft. Walk through sun-drenched vineyards, explore cool cellars, and enjoy expert-led tastings of ten distinctive wines made from indigenous grape varieties. Between sips, you’ll hear the stories behind the labels — tales of soil, sun, and generations of dedication. The experience culminates in a traditional Cretan lunch at a beloved local tavern, where farm-fresh ingredients and village hospitality meet over dishes seasoned with olive oil, laughter, and a touch of raki. This isn’t just a tasting tour; it’s a celebration of Cretan terroir and the soulful simplicity that defines life on the island.
