Wine & Olive Oil Tasting - Enotria and Aspros Lagos were recommended to us and we wanted to find out more about Douloufakis Winery and came for a tasting.
The wine flight was complimented by a tasty platter and followed by an olive oil tasting.
Nataza was wonderful and so interesting. She taught us many things we did not know about what to look for in olive oil and how to use it for health benefits and cook and marinade with it.
We were so glad we came to the winery and enjoyed the experience. Thank you Nataza!

Excellent wine in a wonderful location & with great staff - Great experience. We were lucky enough to take truck with the owner and see the harvest in action. Wine tasting location is a haven from the heat, nestled amongst the vines. All 6 wines were full of character and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!

Absolutely Recommended - We were greeted with a very warm welcome and a quick informative tour of the winery. The tasting was exquisite and the 6 wines included were absolutely divine. We were having such a good time that we decided to stay there a bit longer to enjoy a couple of extra glasses. We had preordered a gluten free platter and it was duly prepared for us. We highly recommend this winery for its products, service and lovely friendly staff.

Wine and a platter - Tasting 3 white and three red wines at this traditional cretan winery. We also opted for the food platter which was excellent. An explanation of the wines, a scoring chart. People not familiar with how to properly taste the wines mAy not have benefited fully from the experience. The process at the end felt a little rushed.
