Taste our own wine in the intimate setting of the Avocado Villas traditional cellar, surrounded by the barrels and atmosphere that are part of its story. Made from grapes grown here, each glass reflects a process that begins just steps away, in our vineyard.<\/p>

Take your time to discover its character, learn more about how it is made and enjoy it the way wine has always been enjoyed in Crete \u2014 slowly, around the table and in good company.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Experience one of Crete\u2019s most distinctive traditions through the making of our own tsikoudia. The journey begins with the grapes and continues through the traditional distillation process \u2014 a practice that has long been part of Cretan life, bringing people together around the kazani<\/em>.<\/p>

Discover how tsikoudia is made, learn about the customs surrounding its production and experience the spirit of a tradition that is as much about gathering and sharing as it is about the drink itself. And naturally, no introduction to tsikoudia would be complete without tasting the final result.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
