Miden Agan — Attraction in Municipality of Chania

We (my boyfriend and I, which by the way my BF is a Greek) were referred and highly recommended to visit this wine shop by our hotel, Hanim Lounge & Suites. We were very disappointed in how rude we were treated when we entered. I was told to, "Stop, excuse me" when I tried to pull out a seat to have a rest since my knee has been hurting. I did want to ask about their tastings but wasn't given an opportunity. We quickly just wanted to leave since we were so embarrassed since we felt like we were yelled and scolded at like a child, everyone turned and stared at us. Anyway before we quickly left I saw prices and snapped a few pics, very expensive. I'm sure she's knowledgeable in local wines and if you don't have the time to visit the local wineries and have the money to burn, go right on ahead.

We had an awesome wine tasting session here yesterday with another couple as part of a brilliant Food and Drink Walking Tour (by Chania Adventures). Our host, Maria, was so knowledgeable and passionate about wine. We have done other wine tasting sessions before but I learned so much more in the session. When I say we tasted the wine; I mean we really tasted it. We learned how to discover how aged the wine is, if the sulphate levels are ok, the acidity levels and how this affects what to eat with it, how to identify flavour notes and most importantly how to tell if a wine is good for having with food or if in your personal taste it is wine for drinking. The shop itself it lovely and stocked with excellent wines all selected by Maria. I would I highly recommend this experience or even just stopping by to pick up some good wine to anyone staying in the area....

My 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...
