Overview

Santorini is highly regarded for many reasons, but today, you will explore with this half-day guided foodie tour, one of those that is perhaps less talked-about:  its cuisine. Thanks to the arid island's waterless (anhydrous) farming, the food has a unique and flavorful taste and today is your chance to discover much more about its special agriculture, produce and dishes.

You will take an adventurous journey into Santorini's gastronomic delights. Led with your taste buds, you will visit a historic village, a winery, and an organic farm. Along the way, you will see a side to the island far away from the well-beaten tourist trails, learning about the island's ancient history of winemaking and sampling traditional culinary delights.

You'll explore Megalochori village, walking along distinctive stone pathways called kadounia. Away from the visiting masses, here you will have a window into a typical islander's life. You will get to experience a family-run winery, where the wine production follows centuries-old traditions, tasting several indigenous varieties and enjoying some local foodie delicacies.

You'll witness a cooking demonstration with fresh, hand-picked ingredients at an organic farm. In a series of traditional agricultural caves, you'll find cherry tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, prickly pears, zucchinis, watermelon, and many other fruits and vegetables, which provide the palette for today's demonstration. Watch and learn how to prepare traditional seasonal dishes, and enjoy a scrumptious meal you can be sure has been created with local products.

In case of any dietary intolerances or allergies, please advise your travel specialist accordingly.

Wonderful experience. Our driver and tour guide were both very friendly and knowledgeable. We tasted great wines, learned about the history of Santorini (with regards to the agriculture), and got to cook traditional food from the island. The experience ended with a final glass of wine and an amazing view of the sunset. Read more

the trip mentioned lunch, but for Americans it was very late lunch. I would suggest saying it was dinner, since we ate closer to 6pm.
