Experience Details

Enjoy a 3-hour immersive, local food and wine experience that begins with a visit to Stella’s family vineyard, followed by a curated Cretan wine tasting paired with local delicacies. You’ll start at the tasting room, then drive 5 km to the vineyard - please note that having your own car or van is recommended for this short journey.


After a stroll through the vineyard and learning about local grape varieties, settle in for a wine tasting that can be held either back at the tasting room or as a charming picnic under the trees in the vineyard. If you prefer the picnic option, just let Stella know in advance.


Your tasting will include 5 carefully selected wines, with the option to tailor the selection to your preferences—white, rosé, or red—if arranged ahead of time. Each wine will be paired with regional specialties such as local cheeses, seasonal fruits, homemade sauces (like roasted bell pepper or tomato), paximadi, jams, sun-dried tomatoes, and apaki, a smoked ham unique to Crete.
