Rethymno Cooking Class with Wine, Rethymno

Unlock the secrets of Cretan cuisine and the island's famed vineyards with a half-day private cooking class and wine tasting. This experience takes place in a beautiful venue and combines a 5-course dinner with a wine cellar visit. You'll learn about fine Cretan wines and taste a few varieties. 

All the dishes you'll make and enjoy will be created with pure Cretan products, including olive oil, vegetables, cheese, meat, seafood, wine, and more. All of the ingredients are fresh and local to the island. Your professional chef will share valuable information about herbs, olive oil, and other ingredients while explaining their importance in Cretan cuisine. 

The class will start in a breezy courtyard with an introduction to the Cretan culture, history, gastronomy, and customs. You'll learn the language behind the food while sipping local wine. Then, roll up your sleeves and discover the secrets to a perfect Cretan-inspired appetizer, main course, and dessert. When you've finished cooking, it’s time to enjoy your meal the Cretan way and savor a five-course dinner by candlelight, followed by a traditional shot of raki.

After dinner, join your host in the wine cellar and explore the many varieties that come from Crete. As you sip wine on different grape varieties, you'll learn about the island's wine regions and receive tasting notes.
