Experience the best of Crete's traditional gastronomy, visiting a local winery and an olive oil mill. You'll get to taste the island's star delicacies!
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, passing 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 while the guide points out different types of grapes. You'll also visit the winery's art gallery and taste a selection of different wines, starting with local varieties like Vidiano and Muscat of Spina, then comparing them with international options paired with local produce.
Next, you will head to an ancient village with a well-known olive oil mill, gaining knowledge about the production of this product and enjoying a tasting of extra virgin olive oil. The tour concludes with a visit to the oldest olive tree in the world, over 3,000 years old, before returning to Chania around 3:30pm.
