2.Chania Shore Excursion Off Road Vineyard and Winery Tour Half Day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $107Top rated

You’ll leave Souda or Chania with a multilingual escort-driver such as Roy, John, or Giannis, climb Vatolakos Hills in a 4x4, stop at 660 meters for views, then tour Manousakis Winery and taste five wines with cheese.

“This was a great half day tour. Our guide really took care to explain local traditions etc. The hillside views were spectacular. The staff at the winery were very hospitable. Tasted five nice wines. Only suggestion would be to provide a third glass for wine tasting so all glasses don’t have to be completely empty to taste another wine. Would certainly recommend this tour.”

But, it was only a tasting - no tour no discussions. The second winery, Enter Santos is an older more established but very run down winery. Again just a tasting, no tour no discussion. The worst part was we expected the advertised lunch. The only choice (which was only told to us as we were headed there from the second…”
