Peak Experience! - Our experience could not have been lovelier. Our expert guide took us through the history and tastes of olive oil, wine and food of Crete in a beautiful olive grove and winery. She even took us to an ancient Minoan tomb repurposed as a wine press. The whole trip was a peak experience. I HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent Olive Oil/Wine Tour! - We had a great time on our olive oil and wine tour with Areti! The food at both locations was excellent, and Areti helped to ensure I was able to have gluten-free options for lunch on short notice, which I was very appreciative of! She was very knowledgeable about the wine making process and shared lots of great information on the food/wines of Crete with us! The tour was very relaxing and we did not feel rushed at all! Was a great way to spend a Sunday/ explore the countryside outside of Heraklion! We would definitely recommend :)
