Cretan Hospitality meets winemaking
Have you ever tried Vidiano? If not - vineyard tasting is a must. You get the breathtaking views of the Dafnes appellation. In addition, you get to learn about winemaking in Crete. All this paired with the team who are keen to share their passion with you. If you have tried Vidiano, come all the same. The winemakers have managed to produce some very good quality wine with this indigenous grape variety. If their passion for winemaking is captured in each bottle, their pride for the island is reflected in the stories they will share with you. Be it about winemaking, food or activities to do. Whatever your plans are next time you are in Crete, make sure to visit the vineyard.
