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.

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 month 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 💖

3 weeks 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!

9 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.
