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!!!!

Shopping - all wines are for sale after the tasting. Perfect for a gift to bring home!

  I was in Crete with my friend (both aged 25) and was looking out for a local wine tasting. After a quick google I emailed Evi enquiring about availability in... read more Oinoxoos House and she got back to me straight away with dates.

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 wine tasting at Oinoxoos house was one of the highlights of our excellent holiday in Crete. Our host Evi was fantastic - so knowledgeable and so friendly it felt... read more like relaxing at a friend's house, but a friend with a huge and awesome wine cellar. Her English was very good too. 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.

  We had the BEST night at Oinoxoos House. 22 friends vacationing in Greece together, and Evi made us feel right at home. We tried 11 different types of... read more wine, ate amazing Greek food, and enjoyed the sunset overlooking the ocean in a "Garden of Eden" setting.
