Strataridakis Winery Tour & Wine Tasting Experience in Heraklion, Crete

Discover an authentic winery tour and wine tasting experience in Heraklion, Crete, at Strataridakis Winery — the southernmost winery in Europe.

Located at the foothills of the Asterousia Mountains, near the village of Kastelliana, the winery is deeply rooted in history. The Strataridakis family has been cultivating this land since 1955, on vineyards that once belonged to the Sinai Monastery of the Holy Apostles, continuing a long-standing viticultural tradition.

Guided by a philosophy of respect for tradition and the environment, the winery invites visitors to explore the full journey of wine — from vineyard to bottle.
