It has been featured in international travel guides such as Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, and National Geographic, as well as global media like the BBC.
A Model Wine Cellar with Carefully Selected Labels
The shop offers a curated selection of wine labels from Crete and all over Greece, catering to every taste and budget. You’ll also find various grape-based spirits from Crete and mainland Greece, including tsikoudia (raki), rakomelo, and tsipouro.
A standout feature is the collection of Greek and European liqueurs and wine accessories for those who enjoy their wine under perfect conditions.
Flavours That Perfectly Pair with Wine
The Delicatessen section of Miden Agan offers carefully selected packaged Cretan and Greek products that complement the wine experience. Highlights include:

A Centre of Wine Tasting and Wine Culture
Miden Agan is much more than a shop. Since 2002, it has hosted wine tastings, conferences, and cultural events. It is also the founding base of the Chania Wine Club, which has played a key role in elevating the local wine culture.
As the initiator of the OinoKritika institution—active since 2007—it has helped bring the native varieties of the Cretan vineyard into the spotlight, uniquely connecting wine with tradition and culture.

a week agoMy wife and I visited Miden Agan as part of a tour called "Flavors of Chania" in July 2025. The shop owner, who has personally helped to shape the modern Cretan wine industry, is immensely personable and a wealth of knowledge. She lovingly instructed our large group through the professional way to test and taste multiple wine varieties. Her selections were all locally made, tasted great, and were priced very, very reasonably. An overall fantastic experience. If you're visiting Crete, Mien Agan should be on your must-see list.

2 months agoBest wine tasting I have ever done. The owner was so informative, passionate and kind, and I learnt so much about Cretan wine. I thought it was one of the best activities I have ever done in Greece, and it was such a good value! The wines were absolutely incredible, and the cheese pairings went with the wine so well. I would love to come back with my mum 💖

a month agoMy wife and I truly enjoyed the wine tasting seminar experience. Incredibly informative and delicious wines to sample, followed by a set of great cheeses that paired well with each of the wines. What a treat to come across during our time in Chania Highly recommended as a tasting and as a wine shop! Worth a stop if you seek a great wine and/or experience during your Crete adventures. Cheers!

10 months agoWe stopped here as part of a cruise excursion. Maria detailed the proper tasting method and flavor profiles. She then gave us three wines, two whites & and rose, to taste. They were all delicious.
