How your Private Santorini Cooking Class unfolds

Roam around the beautiful scenery of a farm

Your adventure begins with a tour of a local farm, where you’ll witness how vegetables grow in Santorini.

Your guide walks you through every corner, explaining how the ash-rich earth and island climate work together to produce incredibly flavorful crops, while also sharing historical details. 

Roll up your sleeves because it’s cooking time

Now comes the fun part: diving into the Cycladic cuisine. Under your chef’s guidance, you prepare traditional dishes using ingredients straight from the farm.

Tomato fritters, fava cream and a typical salad are all part of the menu. And if you’ve never heard about these dishes before, it’s totally fine. Because your witty chef walks you through each step so you can achieve the best flavor, even if you have no experience.

Sharpen your forks & clink your glasses 

After all that cooking, this is the moment where all your effort pays off! Gather around the table as the dishes you’ve just prepared are served alongside a glass of local wine.

Taste the freshness in every bite, and you’ll be licking your fingers. And the most satisfying thing? Knowing you created this delicious meal with your own hands.
