What wines and oils will I taste?

You'll sample selections from the family winery's range (specific varietals depend on the producer's current stock) and extra virgin olive oils from the mill. Both are typically Cretan-produced with PDO or local designations.

Is this tour suitable for non-wine drinkers?

The tour includes tastings at both the winery and oil mill. Non-alcoholic alternatives can usually be arranged with advance notice to the operator.

How much walking is involved?

Expect moderate walking through winery grounds and olive oil factory facilities. Surfaces are typically paved or compacted earth. Comfortable shoes are recommended.

Can I purchase products at the end?

Yes, both the winery and olive oil mill typically have retail areas where you can buy bottles to take home or ship. Prices reflect direct producer rates rather than retail markups.

What's included in the EUR 120 price?

The price includes minivan transport, guided visits to both facilities, wine and olive oil tastings, and operator commentary. Food beyond tastings is not typically included; confirm final inclusions with the supplier.

How does this depart from Chania?
