Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries

A Taste of Crete's Culinary Treasures

1-Day Small Group Seminar Sample

Discover a taste of Crete's delicious culinary heritage. Join a resident professional
chef and organic farmers for an exciting day in the fields and kitchen.

Heraklion Area: Class begins at 10:00 am and concludes at 3:00 pm.

Meet us in a gorgeous traditional village in the foothills above Heraklion where wine and olive oil has been
produced for over 4,000 years. We'll walk to an organic farm nearby to meet the farmer and discover what's
growing and what ingredients are ready to harvest for our lunch.

We'll stroll back to the village for our interactive cooking demonstration with a fantastic, professionally trained
chef. Relax and enjoy lunch featuring delectable fresh and local dishes paired with organic wine.

The village is about 30 minutes away from Heraklion by car or the local bus. We'll provide complete details to
registered students.

This program is designed for small groups, providing a rare opportunity to discover a taste of Crete's culinary
treasures in the company of resident specialists. It's also a great way to learn about sustainable living
practices while supporting community-based heritage preservation projects.
