Lyrarakis Wines is run by the second-generation winemakers, supported by an extended family of skilled professionals. They have devoted themselves to the revival of rare grape varieties of Crete , their portfolio features more than 11 indigenous varieties, with three saved from extinction. As sustainability advocates, they transitioned to organic viticulture in 2020 and part of their regenerative approach,they have stopped ploughing the ground and only use their own fertilizer made of organic waste from their kitchen, the winemaking process, and the nearby oil mills.

DAF WINES family winery is located in the mountainous region of Dafnes, Crete, the village where their family originated. They have been dedicated to vine cultivation for wine production, according to our family traditions and values, for over 117 years. Their grandfather, Evangelos Douloufakis, was the first in our family to receive distinction for his entry at the International Fair of Thessaloniki in 1952, where his wine was praised for its excellent quality by the exhibition hosts. Tradition, Principles and Values: Each activity carried out by their company hides a story about wine, with experience and knowledge gleaned from their grandfathers
