A Model Wine Cellar with Carefully Selected Labels

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:

2 weeks agoWe stopped here while walking around and it is the cutest little wine store that we signed up for a wine tasting class. Extremely informative and super nice! Maria was wonderful and we enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommend stopping by if you want to to learn a lot about the island of Crete and various wines.

4 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 💖

2 months 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.
