The Experience

You meet at Anassa Boutique Hotel and Cafe on the Old Venetian Harbor, where the first tasting begins with two wines and a snack while you look out at the lighthouse. The guide introduces how to taste wine here, then walks you into the small streets behind the harbor—what locals call "ta stenakia"—to Kritamon Wine Bar & Restaurant for two more wines with another snack. The narrow lanes themselves are part of the route; they open onto Splantzia Square, a neighborhood with historical weight, where you taste two more Cretan wines paired with a snack. The last stop is a local wine shop where a final wine—a sweet dessert wine made in the ancient liasto method—rounds out the tasting. You can buy any bottles you liked along the way.

The tour runs 2.5 hours and stays on foot the whole time. Your guide is English-speaking and stops to point out favorite spots for lunch, dinner, wine and cocktails around the harbor, so you leave with a map of where locals eat. A snack accompanies the wine at each restaurant, so you are not tasting on an empty stomach. The walk moves at a pace that lets you absorb the streets themselves—the architecture, the quiet corners, the way the old town is built.
