Alexakis Winery

Alexakis –a family-owned-and-run winery– is the largest winery on the island of Crete. The company is managed by enologist-chemical engineer Stelios Alexakis (founder of the business in the 70’s), Sofia, his wife, and their sons, Lazaros and Apostolos. Both Lazaros and Apostolos are enologists, with degrees from the Universities of Florence, Italy and Fresno, California respectively and are responsible for production, marketing, and the winery’s current evolution.

Enjoy a guided tour with a wine tasting of five Alexakis labels and a meal of traditional Cretan dishes designed and prepared by Peskesi, Authentic Cretan Cuisine, the award-winning restaurant in Heraklion.
