Fantastic wine tasting experience!

Wow! This was a GREAT find! Alex did a phenomenal job of telling the great stories of the eight wines we tasted. Wines of Crete are particularly unique. Don’t bring your French of California wine expectations. There are unique. You’ll love it if you appreciate the art of winemaking Oh, ask Alex to share what his grandmother makes. It’ll blow your mind! Definitely a 5-star experience.

Response from ViatorApril 16, 2026

Thank you for the 5-star review! We are thrilled you enjoyed our unique Wines of Crete and Alex's storytelling. We take great pride in showcasing indigenous Cretan varieties and the authentic art of winemaking, which is very different from French or Californian styles. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the local flavors and even heard about our family traditions and grandmother's recipes! For anyone looking for the most authentic wine tasting in Crete, your feedback is invaluable. Cheers to a truly unique wine experience!

Fantastic Wine-Tasting with Marina

Wine is in the family for Marina and her expertise reflects this tradition. She presents amazing wines, the best depth and flavor in Crete, and can answer your most difficult questions. Give her wine tasting a shot if you love best quality wines. 10/10 be sure to bring a tip, she’ll earn it. Thanks Marina!
