I highly recommend our guide. His love and enthusiasm for his country and nature was inspiring and informative. I fell in love with his country because of spirit! We tasted and smelled lovely and delicious fruits and herbs on our off road adventure. The views were amazing.
I can’t say enough about our time at the most beautiful, peaceful and lovely vineyard I have ever visited!! Also, the wines and our meat and cheese plate were delicious! The tastings were generous and presented with a lovely wine talk. I highly recommend!!!

Off road is right. You are picked up in a jeep and start off roading almost right away. Not for people with a bad back if you have to sit in the back. John took great care of us and assured us he was a great driver which he was. We saw a lot of beautiful Crete country from high above. The winery was beautiful.

Nice welcome from the Manousakis family, warm and efficient explanation on the production of their wines. Tasting of 5 wines accompanied by cheeses/charcuterie and bread.
As for transportation in our case we were accompanied by two guides and two cars. John was definitely connoisseurs and gave a lot of info during the visit but Anastasio was the second driver we had and we felt a little less comfortable and wanted to please us and know us rather than inquire about what we saw during the off-piste ride.
