Authentischer kretischer Kochkurs & Bauernhof-Erlebnis in Chania, Kreta

This is much more than just a cooking class; it is an opportunity to experience the authentic Cretan way of life. We spent a beautiful afternoon with this hospitable family that opened their home to us and allowed us to share in their culture. Truly a memorable experience! Would 100% recommend.

The best advice I can give you is to STOP READING and JUST BOOK the Veggera Experience! Trying to explain how wonderful the Kourakis Family is would be impossible. It is hosted on their family farm, and it was one of the most genuine and authentic experiences we have ever had. After spending an afternoon preparing food, eating, seeing all the farm animals, and enjoying their homemade wine we truly felt like family! It started raining on us so they even opened up the inside of their home so we could enjoy the rest of our meal. Almost everything comes from their farm! Seeing the animals, playing with kittens, and milking the goats were the highlight for my girls. Enjoying their homemade drinks, music, and dancing were my favorite and my wife left happy knowing her entire family felt so at home here. We feel like we need to return to Crete to spend more time with the Kourakis Family. They truly are wonderful and this experience is one of a kind! Book it and you won't be disappointed!

If you want the best Greek cooking experience you must book this. The setting is perfect and Sophia and her brother are just great hosts with all kinds of information.

This was hands down one of the best and most authentic experiences we have ever done. From the moment we arrived, we truly felt like we were being welcomed into a family rather than attending a cooking class. We spent the day cooking authentic Cretan dishes, drinking their homemade wine, eating, laughing, and just chatting like we had known each other forever. They took the time to walk us around their entire property, where we got to milk the goats, see how everything comes together, and experience a side of Crete that you simply cannot get from a typical tourist activity. We even got to meet their grandmother, whose property has the grapes they use to make their wine — such a special and personal part of the experience. What really stood out to us was how genuinely generous and passionate they were. They kept telling us to stay as long as we wanted, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave! We even tried to tip them TWICE, and they absolutely refused both times. It was so clear that they weren’t doing this for the money — they genuinely love their culture, their family, their food, and sharing it with other people. This felt so much more meaningful than just taking a cooking class. It was an authentic glimpse into Cretan life, family, traditions, and hospitality. We left feeling like we had made friends and gotten to experience something truly special. We cannot recommend this experience enough. One of our favorite experiences we have ever done, and something we will remember forever!

Absolutely wonderful experience. The cooking was only a small part of this but experience. While the cooking was great and the food was fantastic spending a day with an actual creation family, seeing parents and grandparents and how they’ve lived lives over the years was absolutely amazing. We toured their farm and enjoyed a great meal and met fellow travelers along the way, would highly recommend.

This was the best experience of our trip. The family was so kind to open their home, and were well organized keeping us entertained and informed. Very grateful.

We had a fantastic experience at the cooking class with Sophia and Pereskevas! Unforgettable, and would highly recommend.

An Absolutely amazing experience all round. We were greeted from the moment we arrived by the owners of the farm, and were introduced to all family members (including the gorgeous dog!) Everyone was so friendly and we were encouraged to take our time exploring and getting to know everything and everyone. From the cooking to the views to exploring the enormous farm, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We felt like family from the minute we arrived and were welcomed with open arms and a smile! The quality of the food was very good and so was the company. The family were so knowledgeable and passionate about everything and it felt like they loved having us as guests. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who is interested in food, farming, music, culture, animals… Thank you all again and I’m sure one day we will be back!

This was a true, off-the-beaten-path, Cretan experience for those looking to experience authenticity and tradition. Our host and his family were so welcoming and hospitable, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfectly curated to meet our group's needs. I cannot recommend this activity enough!

This was such an amazing experience from the beginning to the end! The hosts were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel at home. The cooking, history, animals, and tour of the farm were all exceptional. We would love to come back someday! I would highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you so much to our hosts!
