Breakfast by the Nuns & Wine Tour from Rethymno

Intro

The tour’s first stop is the historic Holy Monastery of St. Irene, located on the north side of the foot of mount Vrisinas, on top of a rocky hill. Let the nuns show you around their home, the chapels, the museum and the workshops where they create icons and arts. You will then be served a delicious traditional Cretan breakfast they will prepare especially for you.

After a picturesque drive through the mountains, you will meet the winemaker and follow her and her guides through a passionate explanation from the vineyard to the bottle. The complete winemaking process is happening in this brand new family winery, and you will learn all of the secrets and techniques used to transform a grape into the beautiful wine they serve. You will be guided through a commented wine tasting of 5 different wines served with homemade olive oil and rusks.
