Wine - 11 different tastings. All Cretan varieties; red and white
Food - Dinner courses were expertly paired with different wines. Fun fact, most of the dishes are prepared by the owner's wife or the sommelier's family!!!!
Price - Reasonable
Atmosphere - The wine tasting area of the store is beautiful! The area is intimate but not small. It would be an excellent place to take parties of 2 or 10+!

  Excellent evening at the wine tasting. The eleven wines with finger food were all delicious and we were well fed throughout the evening. The hosts were superb and the wines... read more were fantastic. We bought a couple to come home with. Highly recommended

  This was amazing!! I can’t recommend enough. We are ended up doing this because it was raining one day and loved it!! The atmosphere and staff were amazing, the best... read more experience and so good to taste all the different Crete wines.

  I don't even know where to begin... from the moment we met our hosts until the end it was truly an amazing experience. This was booked by my other... read more half and her friends, I wasn't to fond of this idea at first as im not a wine drinker until yesterday!, however I can honestly say this was the highlight of my 7 days in Crete. I have learned so much about Crete from Evi while tasting wine and eating AMAZING fresh food (pork was to die for) . I actually Won the blind tasting competition being a total amateur with Wines. I have also discovered that I am a white wine lover!
The atmosphere was very positive despite such a difficult times we are all going through! (Covid-19).
I had such an amazing time ,meeting our fellow German companions , having such a laugh together as a group and receiving this 5/5 service!

If you planing to visit Crete make sure you attend this wine tasting and be sure to take some photo at the veranda (beautiful view ) .

The money is totally worth it as I can guarantee you will not leave this place sober, hungry or disappointed !

Thank you again and we will be back again !

Be prepared to have you google maps at the ready because our taxi driver didn’t recognize the address - but we had such fun getting there!! (About 15 mins from Rethymnon)

This is by far the best wine tasting I have ever done! Evi was so passionate, knowledgeable and friendly. We were in a group (about 8-10 people) of mixed ages and nationalities and we all got on like a house on fire - some of us even ended up going for dinner afterwards. The wine was beautiful, flowing freely and the accompanying nibbles were beautiful.

I had a brilliant day and learned so much about Cretan wine and wine in general. A real authentic experience that I will never forget, all thanks to Evi!!!

Thank you again Evi!!

The tasting was everything we’d hoped for: (a... read more lot) of great wine, the food was so so good (such a talented and passionated cook) and we had so much fun. Highly recommend this tasting. Tip: get there by taxi and they can call you one at the end of your night. (We had so much fun, we actually only took some photos of the view at arrival)

We had a choice from a wide range of Cretan wines, all grown on the island and mostly native grapes that we hadn't tried before. There were some lovely wines. We had mostly dry whites including a dry muscat of spina and local rare grapes the Plito and very interesting Dafni but also reds and a sweet Liatiko. There was abundant snacking food and Evi advised on pairing too. A short drive from Rethymno - be warned our taxi driver had not heard of the place though. An absolute must-go if you are in the area. …
