The Experience

Indulge in a private journey dedicated to the finer things in life. This tour is a curated celebration of Chania’s artisanal excellence, taking you from the high-altitude olive groves of Astrikas to the prestigious vineyards of the hinterland. Experience the rare tradition of stone-milled olive oil, savor the sophisticated notes of boutique Cretan wines, and conclude your day at the panoramic heights of Platanias. It is an odyssey of flavor, tradition, and Aegean elegance designed for the true epicurean.

Highlights

Biolea, The Art of the Stone Mill: Visit the world-renowned Biolea estate in Astrikas, where the production of organic olive oil remains an art form. Unlike modern industrial methods, Biolea uses massive granite millstones to cold-press the olives, preserving the oil’s intense health benefits and velvety texture. Wander through the scenic estate, learn about sustainable farming, and taste the ‘liquid gold’ that has made this family-owned mill a global benchmark for quality.
Karavitakis or Manousakis, Excellence in a Glass: Depending on your preference, we visit one of Chania’s most prestigious wineries. At Karavitakis Winery, you’ll explore modern viticulture set against a backdrop of rolling hills and panoramic views. Alternatively, Manousakis Winery offers a boutique, atmospheric experience in the heart of a traditional village. At either estate, you will enjoy a guided tasting of indigenous and international varieties, discovering the unique ‘terroir’ that makes Cretan wine a rising star on the world stage.
Platanias, Views from the Upper Village: To conclude our tour, we visit Platanias, the vibrant heartbeat of Chania’s coast. We ascend to ‘Ano Platanias’ (the Upper Village), where the traditional atmosphere remains untouched. From this elevated vantage point, you can enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine with an incredible panoramic view of the coastline and the island of Agioi Theodoroi—the perfect cinematic finale to your artisanal adventure.
