Perfect in every way! Great combination of learning about Greek wine production, wine tasting and creating some of Santorini's best dishes in a beautifully set kitchen. The experience ends in a beautiful restaurant with the perfect bottle of wine and the meals you created! The team running the activity is a perfect combination of humor, warmth and hospitality. This is a must activity if you're on Santorini - don't miss it!

This was such a wonderful experience. The farm is tucked in the hills of Naxos. The family who owns the farm is very welcoming. Our host Zach was so nice and knowledgeable. The dinner you prepare is served family style on a dreamy patio table, following by dancing and plate smashing. It was one of our favorite experiences on our trip so far!

This was so fun! We made gemista and stuffed peppers. The chef was very knowledgeable and we got to walk through the garden, along a walking path, as well as cook, eat, and drink wine. Everything was amazing and we had the best time!

Had the best time! Some of the freshest and most delicious food we had on our whole Greece trip. Such a fun experience to learn about the farm and try hands on Greek cooking.

Amazing amazing chef instructor so knowledgeable would do again in a heartbeat
