Starting from the Olive Oil farm, participants will be introduced to the process of olive oil production from the olive grove to the bottle. They will have the chance to visit the olive oil mill of the farm as long as the organic and non organic olive groves. The duration of the visit will be 1- 1½hours to visit the mill and the olive groves.

Participants will also have the chance to taste different types of olive oil as well as balsamic vinegar, petimezi and olives. 

Our next stop will be a Winery visit. We are going to visit a third generation family company, the only one on the island of Crete, specialized since 1988 at the production of high quality organic wines. 

The privately owned vineyards are grown organically, under the inspection and certification of DIO organization highlighting all the wonderful organoleptic characteristics of the local terror, while the production and storage of the wine is done with the most natural way ensuring the rich character of all labels. 

We shall watch a short film of Cretan wines and vineyards; take part at a private tour of the cellar, the production area and the rest of the estate. A visit to the wine-tasting hall is definitely worthwhile, to enjoy the wines of the estate.      

Our excursion continues to Katalagari village where our cook will guide us on the way of preparing the dishes and how they have to be cooked. Our visit starts by exploring the fields and gathering the necessary ingredients (i.e. tomatoes, cucumber, etc) of making the famous and traditional “Stuffed Tomatoes” as well as other starters and Chicken cooked with Cretan Herbs. All the secrets of the Cretan diet will be revealed while you will discover the health that the olive oil offers! While the food that you have prepared is cooked in the oven, you will have the chance to attend a presentation of how the fields used to be cultivated and which were the nutritional habits of the old Cretans… Soon after and since our appetite will be sharpened, it will be time to taste the dishes that we have prepared together with seasonal salad, fruits, ntakos, local dishes and raki. Enjoy your meal!
