Corfu Cooking Class at a Scenic Vineyard Estate

Learn to cook Corfiot cuisine at Vasiliki’s scenic mountaintop vineyard. You will be welcomed with herbal tea or a welcome drink of red wine with citrus fruits. Enjoy a short presentation on history of the vineyard and buildings, as well as an overview of the equipment and processes used in traditional olive and wine making. Then enjoy a hands-on Corfu cooking class which will begin with learning about Corfiot culinary culture and the ingredients used in Corfiot cooking (including a local product tasting!). Your cooking class will be hands-on using only fresh, local ingredients cooked using simple, traditional recipes and techniques. The fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers used in the meal are grown in Vasiliki’s estate or by local producers. You will forage some herbs from the garden for your cooking class and then join Vasiliki to make a vegetable & herb salad, pork “dolce garbo”, a traditional cheese & vegetable pie and Ambelonas’ special cake for dessert.

Enjoy an intimate dining experience in Corfu at a hilltop estate alongside a vineyard, where wine and olive cultivation has existed for more than 400 years. Vasiliki cooks a traditional meal inspired mainly from the Venetian influence of Corfiot cuisine. Enjoy a simple but wholesome meal that may include dishes such as melitzanosalata (smoked eggplant) or traditional vegetable and cheese pie, green salad, pork roast or slowly cooked veal “sofritto”. End your meal on a sweet note with a delicious lemon tart or pudding. Your meal will be accompanied by authentic local wines (if paid for additionally) produced by Vasiliki’s husband. At the end of the experience Vasiliki will present you with a copy of her cookbook, “Corfiot Cuisine – in search of the origins”. This cultural and culinary experience is filled with warm hospitality, delicious local food and magnificent views of the vineyard and all of central Corfu!
