Visitors can join a Farm-to-Table Private Dining experience that begins with a guided tour of organic gardens and culminates in a 7-course Greek meal paired with local wine in the Lefkadian countryside. The Phyllo Pies Baking Class is a hands-on workshop that begins with coffee, teaches phyllo dough kneading, includes a walk around the farm, and results in four traditional pies enjoyed as lunch in an open-air kitchen.
The Traditional Greek Cooking Class lets guests harvest seasonal organic vegetables, work with dough in a wood-burning oven, and prepare classic regional dishes to share in a rustic outdoor setting. The Olive Oil Experience is a focused two-hour visit to a century-old olive grove where participants learn olive history and health benefits, taste multiple olive oils, and have the option to press their own oil.
Sessions are offered as small-group or private bookings in open-air kitchens and shaded garden areas. Hosts provide guided instruction and step-by-step recipes so guests leave with skills and new recipes. The property highlights sustainable organic growing practices and seasonal menus based on harvest availability.
