This review is long overdue. My wife and I had a complete blast with Chania Wine Tours on our honeymoon. Maria was an extremely informative guide-- we live in the SF Bay Area and have done Napa dozens of times, we learned more from Maria than from any other tasting experience. Would absolutely book again next time we are in Crete.

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

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.
