    Absolutely a must!

    This experience was absolutely amazing! Our guide was not only friendly and accommodating but super knowledgeable with the area and stops we spent time at on our tour. She went above and beyond to give us the best experience we could have hoped for. This experience showed us many unique sides of Crete that opened our eyes to the culture and offerings of this island. Would 100% do this again and recommend to anyone!

    Amazing day of tasting

    Very enjoyable day tasting amazing olive oil and wines. If you are a wine person, you will not be disappointed. Our guide, Areti, is a trained sommelier also so gave us a ton of info on the wine.

    Peak Experience!

    Our experience could not have been lovelier. Our expert guide took us through the history and tastes of olive oil, wine and food of Crete in a beautiful olive grove and winery. She even took us to an ancient Minoan tomb repurposed as a wine press. The whole trip was a peak experience. I HIGHLY recommend!

    Excellent Olive Oil/Wine Tour!

    We had a great time on our olive oil and wine tour with Areti! The food at both locations was excellent, and Areti helped to ensure I was able to have gluten-free options for lunch on short notice, which I was very appreciative of! She was very knowledgeable about the wine making process and shared lots of great information on the food/wines of Crete with us! The tour was very relaxing and we did not feel rushed at all! Was a great way to spend a Sunday/ explore the countryside outside of Heraklion! We would definitely recommend :)

    Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.

    How much does Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $173 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.

    Is Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Heraklion?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Heraklion?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Heraklion?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Heraklion Private Olive Oil and Wine Gastronomy tour with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Extra virgin Olive Oil tasting paired with local delicacies; Tasting of 6 Selected Wines From Crete's exquisite grape varieties; Bottled water; Lunch in the vineyards - Traditional cuisine lunch and wine tasting; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Transfers from/to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, Rethymnon additional charge 50 euro Per Person; All Gratuities; and Tranfers from/to Malia, Agia Pelagia additional charge 20 euro Per Booking.
