Your day will start with pick up from your hotel (the time will be given at the time of reservation) where we travel to the Archanes region and take you on a discovery walk on a vineyard and a recreational introduction to the Cretan wines. We meet with a wine producer from this region who will explain about the different secret ways of production. During this first step we will taste 5 to 6 different wines commented by your guide and the producer. We continue our day with a visit to a second winery with a selection of another 5 to 6 different wines for you to try. We will also sample small traditional snacks Cretan barley rusk.We then take a guided olive oil and traditional products tasting with no less tan 10 extra virgin olive oils.
