About Crete Olive Oil Tastings
An olive oil tasting in Crete takes you to the source — the groves and presses — with a guided tasting that recalibrates what you buy forever.
Most tastings pour several single-variety oils with bread, cheese or olives alongside — closer to a wine tasting than a shop demo.
The featured tour runs at the Kleanthi family olive farm in Skalani, near Heraklion: a guided walk through the grove, a look inside the working mill, then a tasting menu of the farm’s oils with local food. You make your own way there — hotel pickup is not included. Staying on the west of the island instead? The olive oil, wine, cheese and honey tasting tour below leaves from Chania.
