Ask for Olga! - This was a small group of people who got together, but we didn’t know each other, and at the end of the day we were great friends. Olga is a wonderful host and knows how to read an audience. She made sure we got to see extra sites on the way and get the most out of our trip.

Great wine and company - The experience was well worth the value. The driver was easy to find join along with a few other pick ups before we headed to the vineyard which was about a 25 drive out of Chania. The family owned operation was charming, the the tour interesting and I finally found what I considered ‘good wine’ in Greece. I’m a first level sommelier so I knew it existed and was pleased to enjoy all 5 tastings. There was an opportunity to order food from the vineyard’s restaurant and it was delicious. They didn’t pressure to buy their wines but there was a darling shop that sold it and other items unique to their farm. I definitely recommend this experience for any level of wine lover. Our small group enjoyed our time together during the tour we ended up going to listen to music together that evening. Making new friends was an added bonus.

Great experience - This was a great experience! Good wines and food. Nice tour of the facilities! The driver on the ride there was very friendly. One point of improvement is to not stress the different wines as most tables were not finished when receiving the next wines.

Great evening - I had a wonderful time, the driver was very friendly and accomodating, the winery is set in a lovely village. The mood was very family-like and the host took good care to answer questions and explain everything. Topped off with a great selection of wines and some asides too. Fabulous to round off your day.

Excellent wines - Transport to venue was very comfortable. Driver was chatty. Once out of Chania he started talking about the history of the area we were driving through. Vineyard building modern. Wine tasting was carried out in a covered /shaded area to the rear of the building which was open air at one end. Wines were excellent. Reasonable selection of food to eat after the wine tasting. Food if purchased is an extra. Our only issue was with the tour. The young lady speaking needed to shout or have a mic /speaker to be clearly heard as in some parts of the tour there is a lot of background noise (it is a working vineyard so that is expected).

Pleasant - Driver was personable. The winery tour was interesting but relatively short. The tasting pours were a bit smaller than other winery tours I’ve been on. The restaurant grounds were pleasant.

Subpar Wine, Mediocre Service. - My partner and I were very excited to have a vineyard tasting while on holiday after reading great reviews, but were left with an acidic taste in our mouths from not only the wine but the poor service as well. The first clue to a bad experience was when a table of at least 8 adults left their glasses near full to leave as we sat down. We were left for over 25min without any staff member coming to us to explain the procedure. We didn’t know if we were at the right place, whether the tour was happening or when the tasting would start, just a bottle of lukewarm water dropped on the table by the initial male server. Once my partner complained, the procedure was explained after apologies offered. The tour started shortly thereafter when a lot more people arrived. As for the tasting… how does one serves dry breads in Greece of all places without so much as tomato and olive oil? There was a small bowl near the breads and olive oil on the tables, but surely pouring a few drops yourselves would add to the presentation of the dish?? As for the wines… acidic, gave my partner reflux within a few sips. Not to mention the owners vanity labelling some of the bottles with her child-like drawings. The server that did the tour was good, and answered questions that were asked quite well. The chauffeur drive to the vineyard was also nice with the driver giving us great recommendations for dinner later. All in all, overhyped, extremely overpriced and underwhelming experience. Avoid if you can.
