  • Lisa

    Hello Yiannis Thank you for your email! We had a fantastic day out to Manousakis Winery on 22 September. I really want to say thank-you to our driver on the day who was excellent. The scenery at the top of the mountain in the Four Wheel Driver is spectacular and the winery lunch was as good as we thought it would be. The amount of wine provided was very generous. We love Crete at lot and this year was our second visit in two years! Next year we are planning to visit Corfu, Chios and Thessoloniki but maybe the next year after that we will get back to Crete! Hope to see you again. We find your travel company to be very efficient and good. Thanks again. Kind regards - Lisa

  • Love

    Everything was amazing! We all loved the vineyard tour and the hospitality, and I was very happy to learn more about an organic winery. Many thanks!

  • Paolo

    Kalimera Yiannis, Tour in Manousakis Winery was very interesting. Wonderful place, excellent wine, excellent food, very nice staff, joyfull, friendly and professional! The tour of the Winery was very interesting and Lafteris, the guide, was impeccable. Because I was traveling alone it should be also interesting to join an other group but I saw only small groups or private tours those day... Maybe in the future I will have the chance to join a group and share the experience. Anyway, at least I can confirm that has been really interesting and amazing tour and I hope to come back to Crete in the future.

  • David USA

    We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would recommend to other people. Thank you so much Yiannis.

  • Adrian K. Switzerland

    This is an amazing winery, with one of the best organic wines in Greece. So if in doubt of where to go during your holiday in Chania, then Manousakis Winery is a great option, delicious traditonal food, superb wine, and warm hospitality from the guide to the lady at shop. Full lunch was great too. - Adrian K. Switzerland

  • Andrea J. Germany

    Many thanks for asking Yiannis. We had a great tour which could higly recommend. We drove to this Winery and had no expactions at all. We had booked a simple taste tour. We were welcomed at arriving and the tour started with explaining how the wine production was made. This was informative and interesting. After the tour we had a tasting of five different wines. All this for just 7.00 Euros per person. Good value for money. We bought also some wine and olive oil to bring back home.

  • Maria P. Austria

    We choosed the light lunch, tour and wine tasting. This tour made by a really informative guide who gave us plenty of opportunity to ask questions along the way which we liked. We were then brought back to the patio where we got to see finished bottles of wine and had the tasting session which was great. We got to try 6 different wines which for the price we paid was extremely generous! We then enjoyed the light lunch which was authentic Greek cuisine. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Chania. Our guide and wine expert were great too. Well done!

  • Jane K. Australia

    Excellent experience. We did a trip out to the Winery from Chania with Crete Travel. It was an exclusive off-road trip to the winery in a four wheel drive. It went up a spectacular mountain route to get to the grounds of the winery and then we had a full lunch with unlimited wine tasting after our tour of the winery. The wines here were good quality with the Rousanne being especially good. The Syrah was also high quality. The lunch was made with local ingredients and was excellent. This was relaxed wine tasting at its finest. If you have the full lunch with your wine tasting, the amount of wine you are served to 'taste' is extremely generous (unlimited glasses with your lunch). Our guide/driver on 22 Sep 2017 was awesome.

  • Katerina T. New Zeland

    My husband and I booked lunch and a tour with tasting. The grounds are beautiful with old olive trees. In addition, the tour was very interesting and the wines very good. Our favorite was the Nostos blend that we had shipped to us. The lunch was delicious and generous and went perfect with the wine. Highly recommend a visit when near Chania.
