Every sip reveals a taste of personal history. From its preparation technique, and its place of origin to the process and the time it took to reach your glass. It's a delightful journey that sharpens the senses and evokes emotions. That's why it requires you to take the time to savor it as it deserves. At Daskalakis Winery, the visitor has the opportunity to taste the wines of the winery in the tasting room and to see the areas where the wine is vinified and bottled. Our tasting program consists of tasting 5 indigenous varieties.

Lyrarakis Winery is a family-owned estate established in 1966, renowned for reviving nearly extinct indigenous Cretan grape varieties like Dafni, Plyto, and Melissaki.
