Highlight of Chania
Ojaigem, 24-09-2022
Our olive oil tour and wine tasting with Anna Maria was beyond amazing! And I highly recommend Chania Wine Tours over any other
We were given a detailed tour of the olive mill explained in detail how organic olive oil is made from picking the olives to cleaning crushing cold pressed the ancient way then bottling to bring us the most pure fresh olive oil Crete is so famous for. Along the way she shared with us very fascinating in-depth history of Greek wines as well as selected an impeccable Wine Tasting with local Cretan wines to go with each course of our delicious Boozy Brunch at the organic local olive oil mill in the beautiful picturesque Chania countryside.
She even sent us wine tasting notes to watch in the comfort and convenience of our own home, to help relive the moments of our visit to Chania, Crete, Greece

Great afternoon

Had a fantastic afternoon with Anna-Marie. We went for a private wine tour as there were 4 of us. Anna-Marie is extremely knowledgeable about wine & we also had a little education on the olive oil process & history of Crete. Excellent day & value for money, we would highly recommend.
Unforgettable Wine + Olive Oil Tasting Tour in Chania, Crete
Neemska, 18-06-2022
What an absolutely amazing tour! Our guide Anna Maria was absolutely incredibly. She combined an extremely knowledgeable background in Olive Oil and Wine with the perfect personality to deal with our unique group mix of business folks and some of their accompanying (and younger) family members. We started with an olive oil tasting at a family farm + bottling facility. The olive oils were delicious. Next we went to a family winery in the foothills of the island. Absolutely unforgettable scenery and delicious wines. They served us a traditional Greek lunch at the winery before taking us on a tour of the winery and underground wine cellar. I highly recommend taking the wine + olive oil tasting tour with Chania Wine Tours!
Amazing experience
