What you'll do
Experience an immersive introduction to Santorini's gastronomy with this two-in-one small-group experience. Your day starts at 9:30 am, as your driver picks you up at your hotel. From there, you'll head to a traditional winery to learn about the island's unique viticulture from a wine expert. Discover the indigenous grape varieties that thrive in the volcanic soils, hear how Sanotorini's winemaking traditions date back thousands of years, and try eight different types of wines, including the flagship Assyrtiko.
Next, you'll head over to a traditional restaurant/winery, where you'll be greeted by a passionate local chef. Under their expert tutelage, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on in the kitchen with an interactive one-hour cooking class. Learn how to prepare dishes like Greek salad, fava bean dips, tomato fritters, or caramelized pork cooked in wine (the menu is adjustable for dietary restrictions and allergies). Afterward, sit down and savor a leisurely lunch of the dishes you helped create. When it's time for the transfer back to your hotel, you'll come away with a booklet and recipe sheet to recreate some of your favorite dishes.
