Douloufakis Winery is located in Dafnes village, a few kilometers south of Heraklion.

Its history starts in the 1930s, when grandfather Dimitris Douloufakis professionally begins the production of wine by winepresses in the traditional way. During the 1960s, the family winery was managed by his son Giorgos Douloufakis. In 1993, Nikos Douloufakis, third generation, who studied Oenology at the Oenology School of Alba in Piemonte, Italy, took over the business and gradually modernized the facilities, restructured the vineyard and started to bottle the wine. In 2001, the certified organic cultivation of their privately owned vineyards begins and, after 5 years, five labels of the winery receive the certification of an organic farming product.

The production of Douloufakis Winery is based on Cretan native varieties (Vilana, Vidiano, Moschato Spinas, Assyrtiko, Malvasia, Mantilari, Liatiko and Kotsifali) as well as on international ones (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah).

Douloufaki winery has won many distinctions in pan-European and global wine competitions.

The Winery is open to visitors and it offers guided tours of its facilities and of the winemaking process, as well as wine tasting packages.
