SANTORINI WINE TOUR COOKING CLASS
Take a Piece of Santorini Home with You
One aspect of vacationing that travelers most look forward to is the many fine dining experiences they’ll encounter. Who doesn’t love to eat in five-star restaurants, or sample authentic dishes made in the style and manner they were intended to (not the way they’re prepared at your local Greek deli). The trouble is that you can typically only enjoy such eating experiences while traveling. Once your back home, you return to eating the same average dishes you’re accustomed to. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to relive your Santorini vacation every week by enjoying its authentic cuisine at home?
See Why Santorini Wines Rank Among the Best
Our Santorini Wine Tasting Tour and Cooking Class allow you to do just that. Not only will this excursion allow you to enjoy the delectable cuisine that this region is known for, but it will also help you to understand why Santorini spirits and wines are among the best in the world. As you prepare for your trip to Santorini, you’ll no doubt come across references to area’s geologic history, including detailed descriptions of the eruption of the local caldera almost 3,600 years ago. This and subsequent geologic processes have blanketed the island in a layer of volcanic soil (known locally as aspa) that is ideal for growing. Wines derived from this region are known for their distinct acidity and crispness.
Yet don’t take our word for it; book the Wine Tasting Tour and see for yourself. Your tour will consist of visits to two of the island’s most renowned wineries, where experts will explain the unique growing conditions and how they contribute to the cultivation and fermentation process. Your tour also entitles you to taste up to eight different styles of wine so that you can actually experience what the locals are talking about. Few take this tour without taking at least a few locally produced bottles back home with them.
Learn to Cook Santorini-Style
After your wine tasting, you’ll embark on the Santorini Food Tour, complete with your own personal chef. His or her job is to help you learn how to cook some of the island’s most famous dishes. This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Greek food prepared by the hands of those whose ancestors perfected the process centuries ago. Those hands will guide yours as you prepare dishes such as:
- Tomato fritters
- Moussaka
- Classic Greek salads
Once you’re done cooking, it’s time to sit down with your chef to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You’ll marvel at the fact that you prepared the delicatessens that you’re now eating. After your meal, join your chef in cleansing your palate with a glass of raki or ouzo. He or she will then send you on your way with tips on how to recreate these dishes at home.
The experience of walking in the bright sunlight of Santorini can be recreated in your home by learning how to cook some of the area’s most distinctive dishes while you’re here. Try our Santorini Wine Tour Cooking Class, and you’ll learn all you need to turn your kitchen into an authentic Santorini eatery.
