Ecobike: Wine Tasting at Heraklion Food Tour

Ecobike Wine Tasting in Heraklion

Explore Heraklion's historic streets on an eco-friendly electric bike before settling down for a guided tasting of five Cretan wines. This tour combines the best of both worlds: a relaxed cycling adventure through the city's medieval walls and charming neighbourhoods, followed by an authentic wine experience featuring local Greek tapas.

Your electric bike tour takes you past Heraklion's most significant landmarks, including the imposing Koules Fortress at the harbour and the beautiful Morosini Fountain. Local guides share stories about the city's Venetian heritage as you pedal through narrow alleys and historic squares. The e-bike makes it accessible for all fitness levels, allowing you to cover more ground whilst soaking up the atmosphere of Crete's capital.

The tour concludes with a guided wine tasting featuring two white wines, one rosé, and two red wines, all carefully selected from Cretan vineyards. Greek tapas accompany each tasting, creating perfect flavour pairings that showcase the island's culinary traditions.
