Karavitakis Winery

This is an amazing winery, very underrated and hidden on the map but it’s one of the best on the island. The guys here are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The wines are of high quality and amazing taste. Highly highly recommended.

Nice spot for a wine tasting near Chania. Service is friendly and the wines are good. The tasting area is really pretty.

Self-proclaimed wine nerd and this is my favourite winery in the region. I recommend the premium tasting for the ungrafted variety. Sommeliers know their stuff and they are confident of their wines (obviously for a good reason!). Shame they don’t ship outside of EU. Wonderful experience!

We went to Karavitakis near the end of the day and we were welcomed by Fanis. He was an amazing and friendly host and walked us through the premium tasting. I am bit of a wine guy and the wines here are expertly crafted. The winery is a bit out of the way but it is an easy and beautiful trip from Chania. Thank you, Fanis and Karavitakis!

4.5 stars. Affordable wine tasting within driving distance of Paleochora. For 19 euros per person, they provided a lot of olives, soft white cheese, tomatoes, and sesame crackers and tastes of 6 different wines. With each taste, one of the staff tells you the story of the wine and the smells; tastes, flavors that you might expect. It was a nice way to kill a few hours. After the tasting, we decided to buy a bottle. 3 of the 6 bottles were 10 euros in price and the other 3 were around 18 euros I believe. Parking is on the street in front of the building. There’s not much of a Mountain View from the vineyard even though you are high up but it was pleasant to sit on their grounds, enjoy our bottle, and talk. There’s also a tiny church and a bell on the grounds. There was a nice group of English speaking ex-pat Europeans who happened to have their tasting with us so we chatted with them as well. Nearby is the oldest olive tree in the world- so we saw that on the way back to Paleochora. It has a very small museum and a place with not-so-good tasting ice cream 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had the pleasure of a personal wine tasting at Karavitakis Winery. It was very professional and the wines are varied, interesting, and of a really high quality. I would definitely recommend this for wine-loving travellers and local enthusiasts.

Great variety of wine and beautiful views!I attended a wine tour at the location and was very impressed with the host and selections of wine available. Complimentary cheese,bread and olives were also provided for snacking.Great location if you're in Crete!

It worth a visit. Where I come from we have a huge couture for the wines but Greek wines are unavailable so I was really curious to see what the territory has to offer. I was positively impressed from the Greek wines, still it would not be my first choice when other countries are available Pro -Nice venue -Decent wines -Polite staff -Good value Cons -Nothing else to see beside the bottles and a couple of Barrique -I was expecting vineyards but is just a production center, this is the only wine tasting I’ve done so far where you don’t see any vine -No visit to the production area to show how the wine is done -long wait in between each tasting
