Beskrivning

Kreta är vinhistoriens vagga, med sitt autentiska lantliv och inhemska druvsorter som går långt tillbaka till de antika minoerna. Veta, en av våra lokalguider, säger ”Det jag gillar mest med att visa besökarna runt på den här utflykten är att de träffar de lokala producenterna och bönderna och hör deras historier. ”Under dagen kommer du att smaka på lokalt producerad olivolja, njuta av en typisk kretensisk lunch och smutta på regionala vita och röda viner på en prisbelönt vingård."

Vi börjar vårt kulinariska äventyr hos olivoljeproducenten Kriti Allios, som ligger bland olivlundar söder om Heraklion. Här gör vi en rundtur i anläggningen och de omgivande lundarna innan vi provar kretensisk olivolja. "Olivolja har varit en stapelvara på Kreta sedan minoisk tid. Arkeologer har hittat bevis för att minoerna, den tidigaste kretensiska civilisationen, använde olivolja för ritualer, medicin och kulinariska ändamål", tillägger Veta. Efter provsmakningen serveras en välsmakande lunch med traditionella lokala delikatesser.

Därefter besöker vi den familjeägda vingården Titakis. Dess viner har vunnit flera utmärkelser under det senaste decenniet, särskilt Kotsifali-rödvinen. Efter en rundtur på vingården och i produktionslokalerna får du smaka på fyra olika viner tillsammans med brödpinnar och oliver. Veta säger: "Det står alltid en flaska på middagsbordet i de kretensiska hemmen - och ofta är den från den här vingården. Familjen Titakis har ett starkt fokus på produktion av sällsynta lokala sorter."

This tour was great! Everyone we met at both the winery and olive oil tour were super lovely and informative. The lunch was amazing and a lot bigger than expected, super yummy food! The coach from Stalis was 2 hours so quite long as we were the first pick up. Overall you tried 4 different wines, probably having a large glass overall so would have been nice to try some more wine!

Our tour guide Rina (excuse the spelling) jumped off the coach in such a bubbly positive demeanour, you had to smile yourself! Great start of the day! Visiting both family run facilities was a wonderful experience. Just the right number of guests, with excellent explanations and a clear understanding of the processes. The olive tasting and lunch was enjoyable giving ample opportunity to get to know each other. The grapes, wine-tasting and gathering was equally enjoyable. A great day out.

This was advertised as a half day tour. (4-8 hours) We were first on the coach at Sissi. There were too many people on the tour spread across multiple pickup hotels. Because of these delays, and then needing a fresh driver, we didn't get dropped off back at our hotel until 10.5 hours after we were picked up.!This is 2.5 hours after the very wide range you'd indicated. The first part of the tour and lunch at the olive groves was very good but I'd not bother with the winery tour.

Ben jullie nog steeds heel dankbaar hiervoor! De excursie is zeer aan te raden, wij hadden een hele fijne en leuke gids, die alles met veel enthousiasme vertelde, dat maakte onze dag! En daardoor zit je veel aandachtiger te luisteren. Kortom de leukste excursie die we gedaan hebben hier.

This was a great experience. The visit to the vineyard in particular was really good. The guide,who was a member of the owning family,was superb and explained everything extremely clearly. The lunch served there was amazing. In fact I would advise anyone planning to take this trip in future to go very light on breakfast so that you can really do justice to it. The wine tour was also excellent and especially the tasting at the end. The host lady on the bus was also excellent as was the driver.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Discover Cretan Farm Life

Small-scale, family-run farms are integral to the Mediterranean diet that Crete is so famous for. A local family will welcome you to their Mitato, a small farmhouse, where you'll be greeted with the genuine warmth of Cretan hospitality. Listen to the local farmer tell the intriguing tale of King Minoas who watched from his observatory, and alerted locals to incoming pirates. Greetings over, it's time for a hands-on bread-making lesson, learning the techniques for typical Cretan bread, made with wheat and barley flour. Then, witness their cheese-making skills using goat's milk from the farm. Next, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, helping out with daily farm tasks like feeding the goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, and tending to the gardens. The adventure continues with a snail hunt over the mountainside, exclusive to National Geographic travellers, peeking under rocks, and among shrubs and flowers. As the day unfolds, your collected treasures, including snails, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, become the ingredients for lunch. Alongside the family, you'll prepare a feast of local delicacies, all made from the products of your day's work. Finish off the experience with a taste of Crete's spirit, Raki, and why not sing along to their traditional Cretan ‘Mantinades,' - traditional Cretan couplets that express sentiments about Cretan daily life.

Crete food and wine-tasting with wine factory visit

Crete is the cradle of wine history, with its authentic country life and indigenous grape varieties dating far back to the ancient Minoans.
