  We want to first and foremost, thank Evi (House Sommelier) for the most incredible evening!!! The Oinoxoos House and their staff were incredibly gracious and welcoming. The sommelier was so... read more passionate about the wines and their histories, but most importantly she made it fun. We opted for the dinner and tasting and it was, by far, one of the best dinners we had while in Crete. We will 100000% see you again!!!

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

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.
