Why visitors recommend Wine Tasting
at Douloufakis Vineyards
Douloufakis vineyards are located just a few kilometers outside the city of Heraklion, the capital of Crete.

Feel the emotion of knowing up closely the plant that produces the wine you have in your glass. Experience the traditional cretan hospitality and learn details about the organic way of cultivating the vineyards. Live the whole cretan experience by combining wine tasting with wonderful, extra virgin olive oil tasting.

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!
