About this excursion
Discover the authentic flavors of Crete on a private culinary journey from Elounda, Agios Nikolaos, or Milatos. Unlike typical wine tours, this experience combines three essential elements of Cretan gastronomy: premium olive oil, indigenous wines, and traditional home-cooked cuisine.
Visit **Politakis Olive Mill** for an olive oil tasting, then explore the renowned **family-owned Lyrarakis Winery**, where you'll taste five wines made from native Cretan grape varieties. Complete your journey with a delicious home-cooked lunch in a traditional village, away from crowded tourist restaurants.
With **private transportation, genuine local producers, and a relaxed, personalized atmosphere**, this is more than a tasting tour—it's a chance to experience Crete's living traditions, meet its people, and discover the flavors that have shaped the island for generations.
