WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY ABOUT “CRESSIDA” CRETE OLIVE OIL TASTING
TDGus, The U.S.A, 14/02/2024
Really a very nice experience! Very knowledgeable guide, lots of wine to taste, just a 30 minutes taxi ride from Heraklion, one of our best wine tasting experiences (and we have had MANY) ever. We also found some of their wines back in the US!
Andre, London 13/06/2025
We had an excellent tour of the winery with Georgios, who was very knowledgable about the wine, production and beginnings of this family run winery. We had a very enjoyable time tasting and discussing wines. A pity we were only able to bring home two bottle but very happy to find that we can find these wines in London.
David Moore, U.K., 05/07/2025
We went for the wine and olive oil tasting. The staff is of really lovely people that are very knowledgeable about their wines. The highlight was definitely the olive oil tasting, as the lady that presented the oils was so great at her job and really helped us understand the complexities of olive oil.
