Really enjoyable visit. Had a talk first about the winery and grapes grown which lasts about 20 minutes. We booked the 7 premium wine tasting and ordered a cheese and charcuterie board with dips and bread. We also used the taxi service recommended by the vineyard to collect/return us to our hotel in Hersonissos. Really efficient service. Would throughly recommend.

The winery is in a beautiful location - you sit outside in a shady covered area to do the wine tasting with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. We did the tasting with seven wines and they were all great. The staff was really friendly and the person doing our tasting was am absolutely lovely woman. We didn't do the tour of the vineyard because my mum can't easily walk around so can't comment on that. The wines are excellent but also great value for money. We had a fantastic time and I highly recommend wine tasting here.

A must do for couples! Arrive 15 minutes early! The picnic choice was great to do if you dont need/want a full wine tasting but still wish to tour the vineyard, learn all the about the grape varieties, the arboriculture & have a artfully crafted meal of delicious locally sourced foods paired with 5 wines. The server will leave you to enjoy the food wine and each other at a picnic bench under a grape vine covered trestle. Thoroughly enjoyed! Highly recommended.

Lyrarakis Winery provided us with a highly delightful experience: Cretan wine tastings with food pairings - in the vineyard, under the shade of an olive tree. We learned that Crete has over 4,000 year’s experience making wine, much of it from indigenous grape varieties. We loved Lyrarakis’ Psarades Dafni and Kedros Liatiko offerings, perfect matches with the food and the sunny, dry, breezy and warm Crete weather. The wine and food were outstanding, and the staff were welcoming, warm, knowledgeable and fun. If you plan to visit Greece and enjoy wine, be sure to book this experience!

Warmly welcomed into this lovely winery. Quick tour, interesting and unique. Followed by wine tasting a lunch (pre booked) The team do a very good job of keeping the food and wine flowing amongst the number of guests. Very attentive and genuinely friendly. They were very accommodating of people who arrived late or without bookings. Reasonably priced wine to purchase post experience. Stunning views and a lovely place in general to just meander.

We did the tour and picnic experience. We had three wines (red, white and rosé). So many traditional greek foods were packed in our basket and then we finished off with dessert and a sweet wine called “ZaZaZu”. Everything was delicious! Would highly recommend!

7 wine taster afternoon in the Cretan sunshine. Perfect way to spend the day. Set in the heart of Crete we spent 2 memorable hours with our grown up family enjoying some incredible local produce. Thank you

We had booked a holiday home in the south of Crete for a few days and arrived in Heraklion at noon on a Saturday. We saw that the Lyrarakis Winery was practically right on the way and just wanted to buy a few bottles of wine for our stay. We didn't have the time to take up one of the proper wine tasting offers, but were still given a very warm welcome and very good recommendations. We even received an additional bottle of red wine as a gift and were served two espressos for our ongoing journey! The wines added an extra dimension of quality to our wonderful stay in Crete – and we have certainly not been to your place (the Lyrarakis winery & our paradise in the south of Crete ...) the last time!

Absolutely incredible and worth every moment. We tried 7 wines in total and surprisingly enjoyed some of the best food on our Crete trip. Everyone was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and went beyond to ensure we had a good time. They’ve also done a lot of really nice work to update the facilities!

„We only have the view and the drinks“ - employee from Lyrarakis Winery It was our first wine tasting and we were absolutely stunned. The view was amazing. The free guided tour was funny and we learned a lot about Crete and the winery. Our guide was the best we could imagine. The tasting itself was romantic with soft jazz music, a stunning view and great snacks. We found our new favorite wine (ZaZaZu) and everything felt so calm and familiar. Irini, the woman who guided our tasting, had a lot of humor and know how. The little dog Dafni sat next to us and we had a fantastic afternoon/evening in the stunning wine gardens of Lyrarakis. We highly recommend. Thanks to Irini and the whole Lyrarakis Team.
