DAF Wines
DAF WINES – The Authentic Taste of Crete in Every Bottle
In the mountainous village of Dafnes, where tradition meets nature, DAF WINES crafts authentic, low-intervention wines that express the soul of the Cretan land. As a small, family-owned winery with deep roots in local winemaking heritage, we focus on indigenous grape varieties and let each vintage speak for itself — naturally, honestly, and with minimal interference.
Every bottle captures more than just the harvest; it reflects a year’s effort, the character of the terroir, and the passion of the people behind it. For us, wine is not just a product — it’s truth, memory, and heart, sealed in a bottle.

The History of DAF WINES
DAF WINES family winery is located in the mountainous region of Dafnes in Crete, the village where our family originated. We have been dedicated to vine cultivation for wine production for over 117 years, following the traditions and values passed down through generations.
Our grandfather, Evangelos Douloufakis, was the first in our family to receive distinction for his wine, which was praised for its excellent quality at the International Fair of Thessaloniki in 1952. His wine was recognized by the exhibition hosts, marking the beginning of our long and respected journey in winemaking.
Today, the third generation of our family continues this tradition, with the same passion and dedication to producing wines that authentically reflect the character of the Cretan land. Staying true to the values and heritage left by previous generations, our winery remains committed to natural cultivation and the production of low-intervention wines that embody the quality and history of Crete.
