フード & ワイン ツアー : 11 コース ランチ、料理教室、ワイン テイスティング

They picked us up in a nice minibus at our cruise dock. It was a 45 minute drive to the winery. Started with Jason (son of the owner) telling us about the history of the vineyard and the various grapes. He lacked enthusiasm. We had a short walk into the vineyard and then went back and prepared 3 dishes. The al fresco environment was nice. They then served us 11 courses. The food was good and the wine was generously served. Before leaving we had the opportunity to buy their wine and other Greek products. We were not displeased; we have just experienced more engaging cooking classes.

Beautiful setting at a winery 45 minute drive from central Rhodes. Good wine, cooking classes were fun and lots of good foo.

This was a fabulous experience. The scenery on the drive to the winery was so interesting. Walking in the winery was fun. Learning to make some Greek dishes and then eating many Greek dishes was a wonderful way to spend the day. And the wine was very good. The guide/owner was so good at explaining everything.

Wonderful day at the winery! Lots of knowledge imparted by Jason on his family business and delicious food and wine. Rhodes and this event were great surprises

First, don’t eat before you go. Before you get to the end of this tour, your host will make sure you’ve had more than enough to eat. The tour started with a seem-less pickup at our cruise ship. After short ride in a comfortable vehicle we arrive at a beautiful vineyard. Our host, Jason, met us there and gave us sone history and background of the vineyard. He then discussed the wine making process at the vineyard followed by a pleasant walk through a portion of the vineyard where we learned even more about the winemaker and the process of winemaking in Rhodes. It was pretty chilly that day and sone of us were definitely underdressed for the chilly weather. Our host was quick to accommodate us and moved the lunch and tasting setting indoors. Reset in the less scenic but much warmer inside setting, we next began our wine tasting. We were afforded ample tastes of five or so of the vineyards products. Some unusual and interesting flavors to these local products. All unique and made with passion and care. We particularly enjoyed the more dry red varietal. Next up was a short cooking class. We created several dishes for our own lunch and everyone had the opportunity to lend a hand. Very informative and lots of fun. Great picture opportunities. This part was expedited nicely since a lot of the prep was done. So, not really a totally hands on cooking class but certainly a great addition to the program and a lot of excellent recipes and information. Finally, a well deserved 11-course lunch. Very fresh and healthy preparations. There is more than enough food. Another word if advise, don’t dig into the first two or three dishes too much or you won’t make it to the end. You were able to select for the winery any pairing you liked from there products and they made sure you had plenty of wine to complete your ample meal. Topped everything off with a shot of the winery’s liqueur. A little time to pick up a bottle or so if you favorite wine or some really cute souvenirs. Finally, a transfer and drop off back to your original meeting place or in town for sone shopping. This tour is a great value and well orchestrated. Seamless. Highly recommended if food, cooking and wine fit your interests.

Excellent place to know more about vine producing process in a family vineyard! very nice family and very nice tasting tour!

The host was engaging. We had a small group, my daughter and I plus 4 others. It makes for a nice intimate setting. We enjoyed learning how to properly taste wine and how to pair the correct wine with the correct food. The 11 course lunch was delicious, but not overwhelming and it included some of the recipes we learned in the cooking class.

Great Experience. My husband and I were very impressed with tour of the vineyards, wine tasting, and cooking session. We booked this class prior to our cruise in the area. Transportation was provided from the port terminal to the vineyard and back again. Jason provided information on the process and types of grapes grown. We also were able to receive a glimpse of how a few of the Greek specialties are made. Truly a fantastic experience not to be missed. Would definitely recommend to others.

This experience was the highlight of our tour. We were so happy to be in a private family owned vineyard and cooking school. They were wonderful.

Pretty drive down the coast from Rhodes. Very informative explanation of the lovely vineyard and its family history. Charming host welcomed questions. Fun hands on cooking class. Many foods to sample and they kept your wine glass full. You could eat inside or outside according to the weather. It was a windy day so they accomodated the chilly guests by moving the tables indoors. Suggestion for the host. A printed menu would have helped us remember the names of the items and pace ourselves.
