Winery Dinner Under the Stars Experience, Chania

Your experience begins with a pick-up at your Chania hotel and a scenic drive to the idyllic village of Vatolakkos, located about 25 minutes southwest of the city. Here you'll be welcomed at Manousakis Winery, a family-run estate nestled in the foothills of the Lefka Ori mountains. Follow your gracious hosts on a fascinating walk through the estate's fermentation floor and barrel room as you learn about the process of crafting Cretan wine, then head to the tasting terrace to sample five distinct wines, all expertly crafted by the winery's specialists. 

After an introduction to the region's distinctive terroir, it's time to satiate your appetite with a farm-to-table dinner. Indulge in an authentic and thoroughly local dining experience featuring a mouthwatering array of dishes, many made with produce grown on the property. Your meal includes two appetizers, a refreshing Cretan salad, a delicious main course, and a sweet dessert to top it off. Pair each dish with a carefully selected wine, or stick with your favorites from the earlier tasting. With unlimited wine on offer, you can savor each sip—your driver will take you back to your hotel at the end of the evening.
