“NO THING MORE EXCELLENT NOR MORE VALUABLE THAN WINE WAS EVER GRANTED MANKIND BY GOD”, PLATO
Greece is one of the oldest wine regions in the world and one of the first wine – producing areas in Europe. The origins of wine- making in Greece go back 6500 years and evidence suggesting wine production confirm that Greece is home to the second oldest known grape wine remnants discovered in the world and the world’s earliest evidence of crushed grapes.
"LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE, THY MEDICINE SHALL BE THY FOOD", HIPPOCRATES
Not only is the Cretan diet one of the healthiest, but it is also one of the most delicious! Cretan cuisine is full of so many traditions that once you take a bite, you will feel like you are laying back, sipping wine and dipping your bread in olive oil.
Food is better when shared
