The 15 Best Winery & Raki Tours in Crete

Crete: Full-Day Cretan Wines, Olive Oil, Raki and Food Tour - Pickup and the small-group rhythm on Crete

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 264 reviews · 8 hours · from $141Our pick

Small-group Cretan wines, olive oil, raki and food tour with vineyard and mill visits, plus pottery in Thrapsano.

“We loved our trip! Would highly recommend. The guide makes you feel at ease, even when you can’t use cutlery the right way and everyone has a good laugh at your expense. (Highly embarrassing but we can blame the raki and wine) all that aside, the experience and knowledge you gain is second to none. And the people you meet and the memories you gain will stay with you for a lifetime.”

2.PRIVATE Walking Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting by a Sommelier

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 113 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $193

Private Chania walk with hilltop coffee, four indigenous Cretan wines, and a generous local lunch, with pickup and a sommelier.

“A great day of food and wine. Nasos picked me up from my airbnb and we first stopped at a beautiful coffee shop (I can't remember the Greek name but it means Owl) Absolutely incredible views of Chania from this hillside spot. It was a little chilly due to the wind, and Nasos was so kind to run to his home to get jackets for us ladies. I work in the wine industry in Sonoma, so the highlight for me was the wine tasting at the Wine Center of Crete. I don't know much about Greek wines, so it was a delight to taste some of the indigenous varietals. My…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 97 reviews · 8 hours · from $176

Small-group Jeep tour from Chania for an ancient olive tree, Anoskeli olive oil and wine tastings, and lunch at Milia Retreat.

“the tour was just perfect. it was a small group tour to the oldest olive tree with coffee, then we stopped at a local winery to do the wine and olive oil tastings. the wines were perfect for the weather paired with cheese and some local produces. The highlight was the lunch at Milia mountain resort. the food was scrumptious. we are vegetarians and they had vegetarian option as well. our guide Nikolas was very engaging and gave us a lot of information about the local produce, history etc. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend this for people who plan to visit Chania”

Chania Area: Food Tasting Tour with Winery Visit & Swim Stop

5.Chania Area: Food Tasting Tour with Winery Visit & Swim Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews

Chania area food tasting tour with the ancient Vouves olive tree, honey and cheese stops, a winery visit, and swim time at Nopigia.

“Day trip was excellent, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and transport to and from each location a welcome relief from driving. The olive oil tasting and honey / bee history was very informative (host was so passionate about the process!) and delicious. Cheese and bread tasting also great. The one thing I wouldn’t go back for was the wine tour/tasting. It was a wine factory - a production line rather than speciality. By that I mean there were wines being produced by the 100,000 liters, yet the process of it was rudimentary and wines tasted both immature and depthless. The factory was incredibly dirty - by this I mean…”

Crete: Knossos Palace, Winery & Olive Oil Tour with Lunch

8.Knossos Palace, Winery & Olive Oil Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 49 reviews · 6 hours · from $123

Small-group half-day trip from Crete to Knossos, then a family winery and olive oil tasting, finished with a Cretan lunch.

“This was the best tour we went on while in Greece. Going with Yorgos (George) was like having a cousin show us around. Everything was top notch. The only negative was the farm for the wine and olive oil focused more on the wine than the olive oil. We've been to many wineries, but this is the only olive farm we've been to. So, we were hoping to see more about the making of the olive oil. We would recommend this tour to anyone.”
