Grape Harvest

On Saturday, August 24th, colleagues from Cretan Holidays and Autocandia gathered before dawn to handpick grapes from our recently acquired plot of land near the new airport in Kastelli.
In Greece, grape harvesting is a revered practice that goes beyond winemaking; it preserves a cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. True to tradition, the harvest included a well-deserved break, where the team enjoyed authentic Cretan delicacies, fostering a sense of joy and connection amidst the hard work.
The journey will continue in October with the tsikoudia distillation process, which will be celebrated with food, live music, and the warmth of family and friends.
As a company, we prioritize activities that strengthen our team and immerse us in the traditions that define our local culture.
Activities like these are a testament to the strong connections we build through shared experiences.
Stay tuned as we continue to embrace our heritage and grow together as a team.
