Highly recommended and entertaining experience - Excellent visit and tour! Warmly welcomed by Georgios whose passion and knwlof wine and its history in Crete was amazing, we spent Two hours understanding the wine making process and tasting wine.
It’s an excellent experience with what, in my opinion, is probably the best wine maker in Crete.
Highly recommended.

Catarina was exceptional - Catarina was very knowledgeable, friendly and charismatic. We learnt so much about Cretan wines. I took a group of friends and make a few purchases after the wine tasting. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Crete.

Thanks for this fun and informative look at your company and the fine wines! - Hugely informative and good explanation about the (tasty) wines. Nice to get a little insight into the company and the way the wine is made. Christina supervised the tasting and did so with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. The snacks during the tasting were also a real hit. Definitely recommended and worth a visit!!

A highlight of our holiday - Very friendly. Enjoyed the wine tasting. Do have the charcuterie with the wine tasting! Have found the wine in a lot of the Greek Islands and it is well worth ordering.

Stop along the wine route - The tasting of Cretan wines helped a lot to better understand this island. We were told the history of the winery and we tasted 6 wines. The wines were illustrated to us with care and great passion and were a nice discovery! I found them very special: one of them had a strong banana scent and one of the whites of the highest level. I highly recommend the experience!

Wonderful winetasting @ Douloufakis, by ‘Gergios’ - It was amazing. We had choice out of a wide array of wines to taste. ‘Gergios’ (the tour guide) was great and explained everything very clear. Also, he was able to respond to all questions and even explained us how to properly taste the wine.

A great experience. - We booked last minute and was unsure what to expect however we really enjoyed it! We toured the winery, the bottling plant which was fascinating! We followed this up with a wine tasting, tasting 8 different wines in total, enjoy a local charcuterie board with smoked meats, different cheeses, fava beans, honey and more, all very locally sourced. All worked well with the great wines! Would highly recommend for a nice relaxing afternoon
