Durakis Winery was founded in 1988 by Mr. Andreas Durakis, with a vision to promote the Cretan vineyard and local grape varieties. It is located in the Chania Prefecture, specifically in the village of Alikampos, and combines tradition with modern winemaking. With respect for the vine and a focus on quality, it creates wines that authentically express the character of Crete. Through tastings, visitors learn about the winery’s history, its wines, and enjoy a warm, authentic hospitality experience.

Had our small destination wedding in the front garden. We traveled in early to walk around the winery and during our tasting/lunch the staff were very knowledgeable and hospitable. During tastings they even gave tours of the winery caves on site. This alone was a great opening to our visit to Chania.
On the day of the wedding everything was even better than expected, we had a server stay late to help close the winery up and she went above and behind bringing espresso out for all the guests as the night went on. She even came out at the end of the night to wish my husband and i the best of wishes on our marriage, and to promise to return in the future! We really left feeling like family and will return in the future. Shout out to Olga and Merlot (resident winery cat)!!

Nie polecamy. Opryskliwa obsługa jakby była tam za karę. Trzeba się o wszystko prosić. W innych miejscach, które odwiedziliśmy było miło i gościnnie, a w tym jednym czuliśmy się jak intruzi na zasadzie "czego!?". Jest tyle miejsc do wyboru w okolicy, że swoje pieniądze można zostawić gdzieś gdzie będziesz się czuć po prostu dobrze.
We had such a great visit and lunch. The wines were excellent quality, and we finally found trad method sparkling wine on the island. We went on the tour of the cellars which was great, both for amateurs and wine professionals. We were so happy with the visit, and went home with a box of bottles. We will probably visit again before the holiday is over. Best quality wine in Crete. 🫶
An absolute five-star experience from start to finish! The atmosphere at the winery is incredibly beautiful and relaxing, perfectly complementing the stunning stone cellar where you can truly feel the history and passion behind the wines. The art exhibition adds a wonderful cultural touch to the visit, and the farm-to-table Cretan food pairs flawlessly with their exceptional organic labels.
