👋 Yassas! Ready for a Taste of Real Greece?

Forget being a tourist. For four hours, become part of our family. Run by Jason and his family, this isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a journey through Greek culture, one delicious dish at a time.

We’ll welcome you to our vineyard, and spend the afternoon cooking, laughing, pouring wine, and sharing stories. You’ll leave with a full belly, a recipe book, and new friends in Rhode

✨ Your 4-Hour Culinary Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. 🌿 THE VINEYARD WALK
Start with a gentle stroll through our vines. Jason will explain our organic cultivation methods and how the landscape shapes the wine in your glass. You’ll feel the sun, smell the herbs, and understand the source.

2. 🍷 THE DEEP DIVE WINE TASTING
Take a seat at our outdoor bar overlooking the valley. This isn’t a quick sip; it’s an education. Taste our family’s Rhodian wines and learn the oenological secrets passed down through generations.

3. 👩‍🍳 THE HANDS-ON COOKING CLASS
Time to get your hands dirty! Join our expert chef (participation is optional, but it’s the best part!) to prepare a feast. You’ll learn the secrets behind perfect tzatziki and herb-perfect meatballs.

4. 🍽️ THE “MEZE” FEAST (Unlimited Wine!)
The work is done. Now, relax. Sit at a long table overlooking the vines as we serve the multi-course meal you helped create. We call it “Mezedes”—a tapas-style feast designed for sharing and pairing with unlimited local wine.

5. 🥃 THE GRAND FINALE: TSIPOURO TASTING
Just when you think it’s over, we invite you into our distillery. Learn how we turn grape pressings into “Tsipouro,” our local firewater. It’s the perfect digestive to end an epic day. Yia mas!

🥘 THE FEAST: What’s on the Menu?

*Learn to cook these 10+ traditional dishes using fresh ingredients from our garden.*

The vineyard setting adds a special atmosphere — peaceful, authentic, and deeply connected to the land.
