A must go educational, tasty experience! - This place is absolutely amazing! Located in a very cute town and on beautiful grounds, it is picturesque. We did the olive oil and wine tasting combo, which was super fun and educational. We learned about how olive oil is made, how to determine flavors, etc and tasted excellent olive oils made from this establishment. A ltitle nosh is served with this. Then we did the wine tasting with local wines from Crete and learned more about what grapes thrive in the area. This was also a lot of fun and interesting. A beautiful charcuterie board with local offerings was provided with this portion and it was delicious! They have an excellent store with their own oil and balsamic along with other local goodies. AND they ship abroad so one stop shopping!
