Moires: Cooking Class and Olive Oil Tasting at a Family Farm

Our Cretan cooking class is a 100% hands-on experience, perfect for those eager to explore and indulge in the flavors of Cretan gastronomy. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, what truly matters is your open heart and eagerness to embrace the warmth of Cretan culture, becoming a cherished part of our family along the way!"

Mama Stella, my wonderful mum, loves to share her culinary knowledge and techniques with you! We will cook a 3-course meal, by providing all you need, from aprons to fresh, farm-sourced ingredients ensuring a 100% hands-on cooking experience! Local homemade refreshments and water will also be provided. After your cooking adventure, revel in the joy of your creations accompanied by local Cretan wine. Leftovers are carefully packed for you to take along.

One of the highlights of our cooking experience is that we are a working olive oil farm, and we include a guided olive oil tasting as part of the experience. We feel it is important to share with you some information like how to recognize a real extra virgin olive oil or how acidity, harvesting, and pressing affect quality and many more interesting details around the extra virgin olive oil. You will also watch a short behind-the-scenes video showing how we harvest our olive trees — a true look into our family tradition.

The whole experience unfolds in an outdoor space beneath a beautiful wooden roof, surrounded by olive trees on one side and a lush garden on the other. Engage your senses—smell, taste, and feel our culture through a one-of-a-kind cooking adventure. This is not a tourist show — it is an invitation into our home, our kitchen, and our way of life.
