Crète excursion vin et huile d'olive

We had a fantastic day! Our guide, Andreas (Andy), has an incredible amount of experience, both as a sommelier and with the local area. It was a real pleasure to learn more about wine tasting through his knowledge and enthusiasm. At our first stop, the olive oil tasting was explained with great passion and expertise. During the wine tasting, we gained fascinating insights into the winemaking process and developed a deeper appreciation for the craft behind each bottle. All the locations we visited were simply stunning. Being able to experience such craftsmanship in these beautiful settings was a true bonus. For one day, we felt like Greek goddesses. It was an unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region!

Our guide Andy was awesome. So knowledgeable about the area and taught us a lot about the wine and olives. The first olive oil factory we went to was the most beautiful place with gorgeous views. I would do this trip again if I ever come back.

This was a fantastic experience for my wife and I. We were picked up a few minutes walk from our hotel in Chania and rode in a comfortable, air conditioned van. Our first stop was to an olive oil mill. We had a wonderful time meeting with the owner and learning about the process of making olive oil. We learned of Crete's rich history of olive oil and then were able to tour the facility which was impressive. Afterwards we had a guided olive oil tasting and were able to learn more of the subtleties that go into appraising an olive oil. Next we visited the oldest olive oil tree which was nice to take pictures and see. Then we visited two different wineries and had a guided tasting of 5 wines at each place. All of the wines were fantastic, and it was great to learn about the different grapes grown on the island. Our guide Andy was also a sommelier and significantly increased our experience by giving some insight into how wine is professionally appraised. Would 100% recommend.

For foodies, the olive oil presentation was so informative. Love tasting the various types. Didn’t realize how complicated the process of making it is. Our driver/tour guide was so informative too. It was such a great day!

This was a truly wonderful experience. We learned how to cook a delicious Cretan dinner and then got to enjoy it! Our guide was world-class and the farm we went to for our class was stunning. The farm hosts couldn’t have been more gracious. Highly recommended.

This trip was fantastic! Pick up was smooth, our group was small, and the stops were great. Andy was very knowledgeable and a great guide. This was a great way to see some of the area around Chania and experience beautiful, local olive oil factories and wineries. Can’t recommend enough!

My family and I loved this tour. Andreas was so engaging and delightful. The tour started with a stop at an olive oil business where the host was very informative about olive oil in general and the specifics of their manufacturing. The olive oils were very unique and very aromatic and delicious. The two wineries were very interesting and relaxing which included appetizers that were so savory and fresh...and filling, paired perfectly with the wines. Each location was lovely with beautiful views, and though there was never any push to purchase, there definitely no need to, the olive oils and wines spoke for themselves. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour...one of our favorites! Thanks Andreas!

Wonderful wine and olive oil tasting. Our guide was Andreas. Very knowledgeable and fun. Great activity for couples or small groups.

Fun day with our tour guide Maria. We were the only ones on the tour we were able to hear so much about Crete from her throughout the day that would not have been the same with a large group. The Olive Mill was an interesting stop and we had a nice tasting there. Both wineries offered us 5 wine varieties and light snacks as well. Great day with a great tour guide!

Nice easy pace tasting wine and olive oil in the beautiful hills outside Chania. Andreas was an excellent guide for the day, explaining bits of Cretan history and culture and adding an extensive knowledge of wines and good humor. I highly recommend this tour. The van was very comfortable—the pick up and drop off were easy. We sampled 10 different wines, and the wine tastings were accompanied by delicious cheese, bread, meat and olives.
