What you’ll do
Explore a 19th-century Cretan home featuring distinct rooms representing various eras of the island’s history, providing valuable insights into Cretan culture and traditions. Venture into the wine cellars to witness the next stage of winemaking, where the grapes you harvested are prepared for stomping. Step into the old cellar and engage in the age-old tradition of stomping grapes with your feet, observing as the first juice emerges. After a rigorous stomping process, watch as the grapes absorb the juice, transforming into either a rose or mid-red hue.
Conclude your day of labor with a traditional Cretan dinner comprising local delicacies and ample wine, a fitting reward for your hard work. Raise a glass and toast to a fulfilling experience!
