Lovely visit! - We sailed around the Mediterranean and this was one of our most favorite experiences! The smaller group and wonderful Vineyard family was really such a special event.

Fun Day at the Winery - Definitely a memorable experience with a visit to a winery, a wine tasting, an on-site cooking class and a 10 course (small plates) lunch. From start to finish, it was a top notch experience. Jason was an excellent host who delighted in sharing information on his vineyard and wines. While we got to taste all the wines before lunch, we were then able to enjoy any of the wines with our lunch.
Our pick up at the port went off without a hitch even to the point of being sent a picture of the vehicle and it’s license plate.
We would whole heartedly recommend the experience, but definitely skip breakfast.

Don’t hesitate to do this. Perfect - Wow! What a wonderful experience and especially loved the cooking prep. Plenty of wine and a ridiculous amount of food. The only thing I’d add was that with so many amazing dips it would have been nice to have pita chips or crackers to spread on and a few people at our table mentioned the same. We did have bread served early in the courses but ran out fast.

Excellent way to enjoy several hours on Rhodes - We booked this at the last minute and are very glad we decided to try it. It was a really fun way to spend several hours on Rhodes. The shuttle to and from the vineyard is convenient and comfortable. The winemaker & host, Jason, provided an excellent overview of his family winemaking operation and wines in general; a hands-on Greek cooking demonstration; and the big finale — which was an indulgent and delicious lunch of traditional Greek foods and wines. The pours are generous. Would definitely recommend.

Great Overall Experience - The bus driver was on time and a safe driver. Host was the son of the owner of the winery and was engaging. The tour included going into the vineyards, wine tasting and a cooking demonstration where you could participate. Then you were able to drink your wine or choice with dinner. You won’t be disappointed or hungry. You will get to taste all the standard Greek food in one spot. Great spreads/dips and wine. The only thing missing was a lamb dish, but you will not mind.

Lovely place and time - It was a small group the day we went, it was actually rescheduled from the day before because of lack of people, however, it's becoming the end of the season. The winery - Anastasia-Triantafyllou was beautiful and my friend and I really enjoyed the presentation by Jason and the ability to ask so many questions and see everything up close. The wine and food were excellent!
