Winery Description:

Like good old wine… As a good, old wine matures, so the Daskalakis winery, over the years, has acquired value, timelessness, prestige, expertise and high distinctions for its excellent varieties and quality. A family tradition that began in 1920 and continues its wonderful journey, offering unique wines with labels that win international acclaim and reflect the history of Minoan Crete in the best way. When tradition and passion are combined with expertise and experience, the result is exceptional. Because each wine travels its own path until it reaches your glass and accompanies your important moments, big or small. The production of wine is a mystagogy. Today we continue to keep the 'family secrets', adding knowledge and new ideas. We experiment, test, innovate and create new, delightful varieties that take the palate on a journey.
