Weingut und Verkostungsraum Lyrarakis
Lyrarakis Winery sits in the quiet village of Alagni, right in the heart of Crete’s Peza wine region — an area known for its fertile valleys and centuries-old vineyards. The family behind Lyrarakis has been cultivating grapes here since 1966, rescuing and reviving nearly lost indigenous varieties like *Dafni*, *Plyto*, and *Vidiano*. Their philosophy blends modern winemaking methods with deep respect for tradition, producing wines that speak honestly of Cretan soil and sunlight.
A visit to Lyrarakis isn’t just about tasting wine; it’s a journey into Crete’s living vineyard heritage. Guests stroll among the vines, tour the cellar where oak barrels quietly age the harvest, and end with a guided tasting of five distinctive wines — each with its own character and story. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and refreshingly personal, with sweeping views of Psiloritis Mountain completing the scene.
