Private Wine Tour with Tastings at Dafnes Valley (Lunch Included)

6 to 7 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

This tour weaves together the sacred, the earthy, and the indulgent sides of Crete in a way few others do. You begin where time slows — among olive trees and monastic stones — before stepping into the vineyards where families have been cultivating grapes for generations. It’s not a rushed tasting tour; it’s a quiet pilgrimage through the island’s soul, where faith, soil, and flavor meet.

What makes it stand out is the genuine sense of connection at every stop. You won’t find polished rehearsals here — only real people, true stories, and the kind of hospitality that can’t be staged. From the monks’ humble traditions to the vintners’ pride and the warmth of a village lunch, this day lets you experience the rhythm of Cretan life as it’s been lived for centuries — unhurried, generous, and deeply rooted in the land.
