We were picked up promptly at the time agreed upon and had an amazing time. Pierre is not only very knowledgeable about food and wine, but he has an encyclopedic base of knowledge of the areas around Crete. He arranged for a very local to Crete lunch which was out of this world and the wine pairings were completely perfect. 100% would recommend to anyone who is looking for a very VIP experience around wine country of Crete.

Petras was very good company for the day and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from him about Crete's history as well as the wine. Each of the wine makers were very accommodating and fed us well. And I cannot emphasise enough how good all of the food was! Picked fresh from the garden. The lunch at the end was just spectacular. We were so full when we returned to our hotel that we slept for 2 hours but we were very very happy. A fantastic way to spend the day and such good value for what you get out of it. Can't recommend enough!

A really well planned out and enjoyable day in the wine region of Heraklion. We visited 2 wineries, touring the winery and sampling many many wines (with snacks of cheese, salads and breads to soak it up!). We then headed to the village of Archanes, to taste olive oil and enjoy a delicious 4 course meal accompanied by another 5 wines! We would highly recommend this tour, but don’t expect to stay sober!

Great visit of two wineries. Small group of 4. Peter, the guide, explained all about Crete/Greeks wines. He is passionate about wines, very nice and took great care of us. We also had a great lunch with wine pairing. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to discover Crete wines, olive oil and also local honey.
