Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic day with Constantine and Argi—our favorite experience in Santorini so far! We cooked a lovely, authentic multi-course meal with Argi, picking up tips on ingredients and how to recreate it at home. Then Constantine shared his amazing knowledge of Anhydrous wines, pairing them perfectly with our food. We can’t recommend this enough!

Amazing cooking class and wine pairing in Santorini
Nickolas was an amazing driver and guide. He provided great recommendations and interesting facts about Santorini. Our chef, Argiris was so lovely. He was knowledgeable and taught us how to cook some amazing Greek dishes. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was so worth it and then after you cook the food, you get to enjoy it with wine pairings for a nice lunch/dinner.

Amazing cooking experience
This was a really nice experience in Santorini.
We were picked up from the accomodation by Nick and he explained to us the difference of the vineyards here compared to the rest of the world.
We then visited the wine cellar and then proceeded to the cooking class.
Argiris was our chef and he was really kind and explained the origin for the ingredients we used for the day.
We cooked a 3 course meal and it was rly fun. For those who are not proficient in cooking he takes care of the majority of the cooking.
Afterward we ate the food that we cooked and we were served with different wines according to the dishes we were eating.
All in all it was a nice experience :)
