Driving directions : From Heraklion drive to the south (direction: Arkalochori/Viannos). It is a lot easier if you can get on the new highway leading to the south, which starts from the industrial area of Heraklion in the north. After 18 km you will reach our village, “Alagni”. Follow the brown “Lyrarakis” signs on the road. The brown signs will lead you to our cellar. Click here for a map, or click here for google maps/google places.

Wine-tasting details :

Although we generally have various bottles of our wines open, the tasting normally includes the following five wines:

(The ancient variety Dafni was thought to be extinct until it was found growing wild in our vineyards. More than a decade of careful cultivation has guaranteed its survival for future generations of wine drinkers. Dafni may be the oldest recorded grape variety still in production today. The grape produces an award-winning wine that demonstrates the viability of Crete as a world-class grape-growing region, using local grape varieties)

The wine tasting is accompanied by dishes of cheese and bread or “paksimadi” (the traditional cretan rusk/toast).

Events:

Since 2009 it is possible to host small-scale events inside (max 60 people) or outside (up to 250 people) our cellar, in front of the main family vineyard.
From time to time we organize various events, like special opening days or music events.
