Avoid at all costs! The blonde lady working there was extremely rude and unwelcoming. We simply wanted to buy something, but were treated as if we weren’t welcome at all. I’m really not the type of person to leave negative reviews. In fact, this is my very first one. But this experience was so unpleasant that I felt the need to share it. Please, just save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. No customer deserves to be treated this way. Very disappointing experience.

We’ve done wine tastings in many countries and many states in the U.S. This was one of the best ones we’ve experienced. Maria is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Cretan wines. Overall and great experience we’d gladly do again tomorrow! Hahaha. (Cheese pairings were great too)

A Hidden Gem & Unforgettable Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stepping into this store was such a refreshing escape from the busy streets outside. What started as a quick visit turned into an absolute highlight of the day when the owner invited us on a walk-in glass wine tour of local wines! She was incredibly knowledgeable, so warm, and had a wonderful, approachable way of teaching me about different wines. Chatting with her was such a delight—it's clear how much love and dedication both she and her husband have poured into cultivating the wine culture on the island. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful spot to discover something special, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back for their annual wine festival in the Spring!

We thought we knew wine; now we know we know something about wine! We learned so much about tasting, about Crete, and especially about pairing with food. This tasting is worth every penny and we only wish we'd done it earlier in our trip so we could have used our knowledge during dinners. Do it with the cheese because it helps you understand how food and wine pair. You would not believe how much of a difference it makes! The shop owner is not only an expert, but is leading the way in helping Crete to promote their own varietals and stay authentic to the island.

Our experience with Maria Andronidou at Wine Center Crete was truly wonderful. Having a good knowledge and understanding of the world of wine, I particularly appreciated Maria’s professionalism, expertise, and passion. With great skill, she introduced us to the world of Crete’s indigenous grape varieties, explaining the terroir and the characteristics of the different wines in an engaging and never predictable way. What I found especially interesting was her ability to turn the tasting into a real mini wine course, providing us with useful tools and insights not only to better understand the wines of Crete, but also to approach and appreciate wines from other regions. For me, it was a stimulating, enjoyable, and enriching experience, which I highly recommend to anyone who loves wine and wants to discover Cretan wines with someone as knowledgeable and passionate as Maria.

I scheduled a wine tasting at Miden Agan for my family of five. Maria was so knowledgeable and not only introduced us to wine from Crete, but also taught us how to taste wine, and what to look for when ordering wine at a restaurant. It was very informative and my family really enjoyed it! Miden Agan is doing incredible things for the local wine scene and it was great to learn about it. I would highly recommend this tasting (and the store!) for wine lovers and novices alike.

What a fantastic and informative session. I’m a bit of a tasting sceptic tbh but Maria’s explanation and tasting steps really helped to experience the different wines and their “terroir” Cretan wine is fantastic and any visitors should try and experience the variety and quality We were drinking 10 -20 E bottles so not expensive and readily available Cheese probably should be compulsory with wine as it improves both We definitely got value for money and I would recommend an hour or two with Maria And if you have luggage space take some home

I participated in the wine tasting class. It was very informative. We tasted four different wines: two whites, one rosé, and one red. We also had four different cheeses. Beforehand, we received about half an hour of information about the grapes, the growing regions, and the history of winemaking. Afterward, they explained how to smell and taste the wine before drinking it. Definitely not your average wine tasting.

No worth to do! Much more expensive than the value to do... Only expensive one is operated. I don't know why she serve cheap wine so much even though it is tasting... It would be better to serve better wine for tasting in accordance with the price. The host likes showing off.. Even though she gave me wrong info about blending of wine, she didn't fix it. She is also rude! She shouldn't have controlled customer. It was the Worst memory in Chania.

She lovingly instructed our large group through the professional way to test and taste multiple wine varieties. Her selections were all locally made, tasted great, and were priced very, very reasonably. An overall fantastic experience. If you're visiting Crete, Mien Agan should be on your must-see list.

Great experience! We visited Miden agan for wine tasting and got much more: Maria's explanations and presentation of local wines was educating (and tasty), but we got much more in the way of history, wine culture etc. Local wines (of which there's a huge selection) are truly wonderful and very different from the world recognised varieties. If you are willing to try and to go above supermarkets' offering this is the place to go.

We had a fantastic day at the wine shop! Our host was wonderful and welcoming. She shared the history of local wines, walked through what makes them unique, and educated us along the way. We all had a wonderful time and would recommend to any who are interested! Big thanks to Crete Private Guides for showing this space!

My fiancé and I were lucky enough to get engaged in Greece and visit Miden Agan where we did a wine tasting with Maria. She was so knowledgeable and fun. It was an unforgettable experience 🧡

Fantastic wine tasting. The owner brings local history and a ton of information about the history of the wine in the last 80 years. Tasting includes 2 white, a rose, and a red. Wonderful selection to buy as well.

We did a private wine tasting with Maria through a guide and it was hands down one of my favorite wine tastings. Maria is so incredibly passionate about wine and educating others on how wine is made and the best way to drink it. Do yourself a favor and go do a tasting!

We stopped here as part of a cruise excursion. Maria detailed the proper tasting method and flavor profiles. She then gave us three wines, two whites & and rose, to taste. They were all delicious.

Lots of options, reasonable prices and useful advice. That's all you need. The wine I bought was delicious, initially I decided for a dry white but the lady recommended a different one when I mentioned my partner likes a bit of sweetness and the wine chosen was a great pairing 👌🏽

We had a lovely wine tasting experience with Maria here. We’ve been to many different wine tastings all over the world and never learned so much in a single hour. If you’re thinking about trying wine tasting here, you should definitely try it. It’s a 10/10 experience.

Incredible wine shop, very generous and helpful knowledge from the owner. She kindly packed our purchased bottles in bubble wrap for our flight home, too. Wish we had signed up for the wine tasting!

María is your guide not only to Cretan and Greek wine, but to the entire wine hobby. She can infect you with her passion for this timeless drink.

We had an awesome wine tasting session here yesterday with another couple as part of a brilliant Food and Drink Walking Tour (by Chania Adventures). Our host, Maria, was so knowledgeable and passionate about wine. We have done other wine tasting sessions before but I learned so much more in the session. When I say we tasted the wine; I mean we really tasted it. We learned how to discover how aged the wine is, if the sulphate levels are ok, the acidity levels and how this affects what to eat with it, how to identify flavour notes and most importantly how to tell if a wine is good for having with food or if in your personal taste it is wine for drinking. The shop itself it lovely and stocked with excellent wines all selected by Maria. I would I highly recommend this experience or even just stopping by to pick up some good wine to anyone staying in the area. Thank you Maria!

We came here for a 1 hour wine tasting at 11am. We tasted 4 wines for €25 each. The shop is cute and Maria the hostess was knowledgeable and very friendly. We ended up having about 1.5hrs which suited us as we got to chatting to the other couple on the tasting. The wines were great and it was an interesting and informative event. Would recommend to wine lovers 🙂

Maria was a fantastic wealth of information! My wife and I were looking to taste some Cretan wines and we got that and more. She walked us through all of the steps for wine tasting and helped us to distinguish all of the tasting notes and visuals clues to ‘read’ the different wines. We are so glad we did this!

Fantastic, very informative tasting. We got to choose some of the wines for the tasting, and ended up having two whites, one rose, one red for 25€. The tasting took a bit over an hour. Lovely wines, perfect service.
