The Vine-Harvest Day Trip in Chania

Embark on a journey into Crete’s rich winemaking tradition, from ancient Minoan roots to present-day practices. Begin in a family vineyard, where you’ll harvest native grape varieties like “Romeiko,” “Vidiano,” and “Kotsifali.” The experience is brought to life with Cretan songs and dances, set against the stunning backdrop of the White Mountains. After the harvest, visit a restored 19th-century Cretan cottage, where you’ll explore secret rooms and immerse yourself in the island’s culture. The tour culminates in the old cellar, where you’ll participate in the traditional process of treading freshly harvested grapes, turning them into rose or mid-red wine. As the day concludes, enjoy a traditional Cretan dinner, celebrating your hard work with local delicacies and wine, creating lasting memories of Crete’s unique hospitality and winemaking heritage.
