Greece · CHEESE
Good cheese tastings fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Explore rural Crete from Chania with olive oil, cheese, honey, bakery, and wine tastings, plus the ancient Olive Tree of Vouves.
“The guide was excellent, loved all the details she provided. Enjoyed the tastings and the pies from the bakery”
Taste five Greek wines, local cheeses, and olives beneath the Acropolis while learning Greek wine history and tasting skills in a small group.
“Fantastic experience. Our wine expert was super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I had the opportunity to taste 5 high quality Greek wines, accompanied by artisanal cheeses. I learned a lot about Greek wines and wines in general. I learned how to evaluate the characteristics of a wine: colour, smell, taste, alchool percentage, and a lot of tips about how to understand if a wine is of good quality. Highly recommended.”
Meet Crete’s farm animals, milk goats and sheep, make cheese, and taste local dairy, wine, and raki near Rethymno.
“Simply fantastic. We learnt a lot about farm life in Greece, got to try milking some goats and I cuddled a baby sheep. It’s difficult to pick one highlight of the experience - the taste testing was fantastic and I’m gutted that I can’t buy the produce from Germany! A fantastic family owned business, the tour was done with warmth and humour and the cheese was simply outstanding. Well worth the money!”
