Experience Details
This is not just a tasting — it's a full olive oil seminar led by a certified sommelier who fell in love with olive oil after moving to Crete and marrying into an olive oil producing family.
You'll learn everything: production methods, olive oil categories, how to taste professionally, and how to recognize premium quality from poor quality.
You'll taste oils from multiple small Cretan producers, exploring different traditional Cretan varieties — including some of the oldest olive varieties in the entire Mediterranean.
You'll also get hands-on, making your own traditional Cretan dakos using fresh local ingredients and premium olive oil.
Hidden in a cozy tasting room in Rethymno's Old Town, this intimate experience offers authentic knowledge and personal passion that no group tour can match. Small groups only, ensuring a personal and unforgettable experience.
You'll leave with skills and insights about olive oil that will stay with you for life.
