Chania Wine Tasting - A unique experience you'll love! In Detail
Greek culture has always embraced wine, and sampling wine in Crete is a wonderful opportunity to get a taste of the island's distinctive cuisine. On this Crete tour, we'll go stargazing and search out constellations and the Milky Way, with our own personal astronomer who will show you how to seek out stars through a telescope and with the naked eye.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the stars in a way that you have never seen them before. In addition to stargazing, we will also have a tour of the winery, where you will learn about the production and storage of wine. We will then have a tasting of 5 different wines accompanied by delicious Cretan rusks and olives from their garden.
With our astronomer, we will travel back in time to the Mythology of the constellations that are connected to the wine. Your intergalactic experience will end with a dinner under the stars, slow-cooked in ceramic pots just as Cretans did in ancient times. This is a truly unique experience that you will not want to miss.
The best part is that you'll be helping a nearby company. Rural tourism is crucial to Crete's economy, and by patronizing local companies, you help keep the island's customary ways of life alive. The nearby towns, farmers, and stock-breeders supply the meals you'll sample on your journey.
This contributes to preserving the traditional cooking methods that could otherwise disappear. When you reserve wine tasting tours in Crete, you're doing more than just savoring the wine—you're also helping out the neighborhood.
