Very nice experience and exactly as promised. Jason was an excellent host. Only challenge was finding our ride in the busy harbor but we did.
Very good experience from the start. Opted for hotel pick-up but as we were located in old town I was concerned that vehicles weren’t allowed. After messaging company I was sent WhatsApp showing exact pick up location. Driver messaged to say running 5 mins late so communication was very good. Lovely air conditioned mini bus. On arrival we were greeted by Jason who gave us a wonderful insight into the wine making process . He really knows his wine ! After visiting the vines we sat down to taste the end products, something for everyone. Food preparation of Greek dishes was fun and the sit down meal that followed was a feast ( wine included of course ). Overall a very enjoyable experience and would recommend you try it.
Very nice trip to the winery, with good information from Jason, we really enjoyed it overall 👌
It is a well-groomed excursion, the transfer and guidance were excellent. A fun day out with lots of fun.
Loved this experience and the chance to try unique Rhodean wine. Food was delicious, cookery class was fun and we came away with a bottle of wine!
I did this tour 3 years ago with friends, and loved it so much that I can back again with my parents. They loved it too. I don’t even like wine but I love it purely for the experience (including the cooking class). Another great day, thanks Jason! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wonderful! Definitely one of the highlights of our 24 day trip. Recommending to friends who will be visiting soon.
The pickup was on time and honestly was so worth including - the vineyard is tricky to find (a few people got lost driving there) and also means you get to try all the delicious wine! The vineyard is beautiful and Jason talked passionately about his family business. I learnt so much about the process of making wine and the work that goes into it. The cooking class was really fun and interactive. The email of recipes was a nice touch too. Then the best part - the wine tasting! It was great to try new varieties and ones I wouldn't ordinarily pick in a shop. The lunch was delicious, with more than enough food for everyone and of course more wine. I just wish I hadnt just got a carry on for the plane so I could have bought some home with me! Thoroughly recommend this activity
What a great way to spend the last day of my holiday. From hotel pickup through to return the whole day was well organised. Jason and the rest of the team were welcoming, informative and funny. We had a wander around the vineyards, tasted 5 wines, all got involved in preparing 3 dishes, ate a huge meze (with wine) the visited their distillery.
It was great - earning about wine, tasting different wines, preparing courses for lunch, dining and sipping in lovely surroundings with newly made friends. Jason was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Only negative was the meeting/pickup place was very unclear
