As for "feasible to drive afterwards", we were not served so much as to come anywhere close to driving impaired. I think combined, the three tastes amounted to the equivalent of one glass.

You would most likely need a car. You would drive the E75 to Heraklion, then head South towards the town of Archanes. The winery is a few miles past Archanes. You may be able to book some kind of bus trip directly from Malia, but would have to check with local tour operators there.

Hello there! Thank you for your interest in coming by our winery. There is no entrance fee for the winery and the tours are also free of charge (Tours are scheduled Monday-Saturday: 1pm, 3pm, 4:30pm). If you wish to have one, you just pay for the wine tasting package of our choice and/or the food you order. If you don't wish to have the whole 6-wine or 8-wine tasting package, you can just request the wines that you are more interested in. The hosts there will help you with everything you' ll need. :)

On their web site, they write that they are open April to October. You should check out their web site and get in touch with them via email to be sure.

Their distributor in the US is USA Wine West .

Hello Gosia, Yes, it is a KTEL bus departing from the central bus station at Ikarou Str. The bus you'll need to take is the bus-line towards "Arkalochori". It doesn't have a specific number, it is named after its final destination. Once on the bus, I suggest asking the driver to inform you when you reach the bus stop in Alagni (the village where our winery is located ) so that you don't miss your stop. Then you will need to walk approx. 1,5 km on a rural road in order to reach the winery. Signs along the way will help you. You can check the timetable and the routes through KTEL's website (ktelherlas . gr) but I suggest re-checking at the station, to make sure that the bus you are about to take passes from Alagni and is not an express. If you need more information or any kind of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Eva Gouvianaki Lyrarakis Wines

Hello, Thank you for the interest in visiting our winery. Unfortunately, there is no direct bus connecting Koutouloufari and Alagni. You will need to take a bus from Chersonissos to Heraklion first and then take another bus to Alagni. The buses from Chersonissos to Heraklion are really frequent and convenient, the one that takes you to Alagni though is not that frequent. Because of that we suggest checking the timetables beforehand. Besides the bus (and of course driving yourself) there is also the option of a taxi. For example, a taxi drive from Koutouloufari to Alagni and back to Koutouloufari would cost approx. 90 euros. If you need any further assistance or if you need us to arrange a taxi for you, please don't hesitate to contact us directly. Kind regards, Eva Gouvianaki Lyrarakis Wines

Hello Emma, Thank you for your interest in visiting our winery in September! A taxi drive from Analipsi to Alagni (the village where the winery is located) and back to Analipsi would cost approx. 90 euros. If you decide on taking a taxi, we would be glad to assist you by arranging the details for you. Thank you Emma once again, Kind regards, Eva Gouvianaki Lyrarakis Wines
