Wine Tasting: Meet the Cretan Vineyard at West Chania

Yesterday, my husband and I visited the Polo Tolo winery that is approximately one hour from Chania. The winery is in the mountains surrounded by beautiful scenery. Our visit was hosted by one of the owners, Myrsini. We were blown away by her hospitality and knowledge about wine and wine making. During the visit, we tasted 5 local wines accompanied by tasty snacks (cheeses, dry fruits, bread, roasted kale, spinach pie, etc) that beautifully accompanied the wines. We also tasted their wonderful olive oil. She and her co-owners have created an incredible group of wines using indigenous grapes and organic and environmentally sustainable methods. During our tasting, we had an enjoyable conversation with Myrsini about her journey in wine making, the history of the winery and the sustainable methods that they use to create their beautiful wines. Overall, this was a fabulous experience and one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend a visit to the Polo Tolo winery!

I wholeheartedly recommend their wine tasting and guided vineyard tours; you'll savor the unique flavors of Crete like never before. This place is an absolute must for anyone seeking a heartwarming retreat! The people are incredibly polite and welcoming. Don't miss the chance to try "Agria Krasi," an authentically natural taste from their artisanal production. Hats off to these folks for promoting sustainability and supporting local, small-scale harvesting.

An exceptional encounter awaits at this hidden treasure in Chania, Crete! Delight in their delectable wines, genuine hospitality, and a serene atmosphere. I highly suggest indulging in their wine tasting and guided vineyard tours to discover the distinct tastes of Crete. A must for those in search of a heartening escape!

PoToLo is the place where one can perceive the reason why all human psychic conditions, from the most primitive to the most transcendental ones, pair so finely with wine..and why sometimes a taste of tradition can bridge earth and sky even more..

We visited Potolo a few days ago and we left with a very bright smile, as the whole experience was amazing! The setting is beautiful (and accessible !!). We were impressed by the hospitality and the knowledge that was offered, as well as the local tastes and of course the wine! Everything is made in harmony with nature and respect, something rare to find lately in a touristic place like Chania. If you are a wine lover (or not)and willing to experience something different in the middle of a beautiful landscape with unique people, that's the place to be. Thank you Potolo, we will be back for sure!

The staff demonstrated a commendable level of knowledge about their wine offerings. They were approachable, friendly, and more than willing to assist in finding the perfect bottle based on my preferences. The sommelier's recommendations were on point, showcasing their expertise and commitment to ensuring customers' satisfaction.

Great Experience! If your are looking for something traditional and different in Chania then definitely you need to try this. Thanks a lot guys for your warm welcome and those great wines!
