Wine and Olive Oil Tour
After picking you up from your hotel, you'll head for the mountainous Kissamos region to the north of the island. On the way, you'll pass various vineyards and olive fields while learning about the importance of wine and olive oil production in Crete.
The first stop will be at a family winery in Kissamos, where you'll learn about the winemaking process. Explore the winery's rooms and wander amongst the vines as the guide explains the different types of grapes used for wine production.
You will also visit the winery's art gallery and taste a selection of different wines. First, try the local wines: Vidiano and Muscat of Spina, then compare them with international varieties paired with local produce.
After leaving the winery, you'll travel across the Cretan countryside to an ancient village with a well-known olive oil mill. Here, you'll learn about the production of this product and enjoy a tasting of extra virgin olive oil.
Finally, you'll visit the oldest olive tree in the world, over 3,000 years old, before making your way back to Chania, arriving at your hotels around 3:30pm.
