Terra Divino<\/span><\/p>

Everything comes from the land -our own divine land.<\/span><\/p>

Eleni Vorizanaki and Nikos Tzorakakis have the same vision:<\/span><\/p>

To create amazing Cretan wines using particularly the varieties that are dominant in this part of the world.<\/span><\/p>

“Combining Liatiko PDO which grows in abundance in Crete, with international varieties we created our own secret recipe. <\/span><\/p>

Our dream was to create modern wines using ancient traditional methods \u2013 not an easy path.<\/span><\/p>

We just reached a total of 50 awards in national and international competitions which took years of experimenting and going against the tide.<\/span><\/p>

Our wines are now best sellers in the biggest hotel chains in Crete and compliment several local dishes as well as a classic french cheese boards or Italian charcuterie boards.<\/span><\/p>

We would love our customers to be able to find our wines in their home countries so they can continue their holiday wherever they are are:<\/span><\/p>

Bring your Crete with you!”<\/span><\/p>

Love,<\/p>
