A journey into Cretan terroir.

Wine tasting at NEMA is hosted at Rizes Cretan Gastrobar, where the island’s character is expressed through the glass as much as on the plate. Guided by our wine experts, you are invited to explore a curated selection of Cretan and selected international wines, focusing on origin, texture, aroma, and balance.

Each tasting is designed as a gentle progression, from lighter, crisp labels to more structured, full-bodied wines, allowing you to understand not only the flavours, but also the stories and landscapes behind them. Small bites and pairings may accompany the experience, highlighting how local ingredients and wines interact.

It is an intimate, relaxed way to deepen your appreciation of Cretan terroir and expand your personal taste, whether you are new to wine or already passionate about it.
