Olive Oil Tasting in the Heart of Rethymno Old Town
Step into your intimate tasting room in the heart of Rethymno's Old Town and discover why Crete produces some of the finest olive oil in the world.
Your 2-hour session is led by Dijana, a certified olive oil sommelier whose family has been producing Cretan olive oil for generations.
You'll taste 4 premium extra virgin olive oils from small Cretan producers. You'll learn to evaluate olive oil like a professional — identifying aromas, flavor notes, bitterness, and quality markers.
Between tastings, enjoy local Cretan bites — tomato, cucumber, olives, and traditional paximadi — and then get hands-on and make your own traditional Cretan dakos from scratch using fresh local ingredients and, of course, premium Cretan olive oil.
Throughout the session you'll discover the history of Cretan olive oil, its role in the Mediterranean diet, and its proven health benefits.
You'll leave with professional tasting skills and a deeper connection to one of Crete's most treasured traditions.
Included: 4 premium Cretan EVOOs, local food pairings, hands-on dakos making, full guided seminar.
Languages: English, Greek, Croatian, Serbian.
