Peloponnese Traditional Greek Cooking & Olive Oil Soap-Making Experience

소개

Join us in the heart of the Peloponnese for an authentic Greek cooking experience, where food, tradition, and warm hospitality come together. Guided by Chef-Farmer Gerasimos and his team, you'll discover the secrets of traditional Greek cuisine while enjoying the genuine flavors and customs of the Greek countryside.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome in our courtyard, where you'll be greeted with chilled ouzo and a selection of traditional Greek appetizers, including a few delicious surprises.

After putting on your apron, you'll prepare authentic Greek recipes together using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. As the traditional wood-fired oven is lit, you'll learn family cooking techniques and time-honored recipes passed down through generations, while hearing stories about Greek culinary traditions.

While your dishes slowly bake and the aromas fill the air, you'll take part in a unique hands-on activity by creating natural soap made with olive oil and honey, following our grandmother's treasured recipe.

The experience concludes the Greek way—around a shared table. Enjoy the delicious meal you've prepared together, paired with fine wines from the historic Nemea Cooperative, one of Greece's most renowned wine-producing regions.

Come as a guest and leave as a Greek friend, taking home authentic recipes, new culinary skills, and unforgettable memories of Greek hospitality.
