A Taste of Corfu and Joy of Cooking - Yorgos met us in Old Town Corfu, sharing tips for shopping in the market as well as in specialty shoppes for cheese and yogurt. We were glad Yorgos offered to drive us to his beautiful olive estate and home outside of Corfu, where we learned aspects of olive harvesting and EVO processing in the community, as well as some amazing historical details of his family’s long history of olive oil production. The highlight of the session was the group preparation of a delicious meal. Jorgas, along with his son and his chef, made everyone feel like a pro in preparation for a healthy and authentic full-course meal.

Fantastic experience with a warm and enthusiastic Greek! - We had a fantastic experience with Yorgos and his team! Our 5-year-old son was warmly welcome at this cooking workshop and was involved in every part. Yorgos is a very warm man who speaks with great passion about Greek traditions, including Greek cuisine and olive oil production. Everyone is involved in preparing the dishes, which were then deliciously enjoyed with a glass of wine and a panoramic view! A real recommendation! Thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness Yorgos!

A hidden gem in Corfu: food, culture and olive oil traditions - Such a special and memorable experience with Yorgos’ cooking class and olive oil tasting tour! We loved starting with a visit to the local market, which gave us an authentic glimpse into Corfu’s food culture and traditions. We chose fresh local ingredients and prepared simple and delicious dishes with just a few quality ingredients. Learning about their olive oil production and the care behind their oil was a highlight. Yorgos and his staff were sincere, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly, they made the whole experience so personal and genuine. This has been very unique and niche experience, far beyond a typical tourist activity. I’d also love to try their other activities, especially their hiking and kayaking experiences, if I had more time in Corfu.

Off the beaten path authentic cooking experience - George’s passion for history combined with his family’s legacy of being a native from Corfu brings a one of a kind experience to your Island adventure. After finding the perfect produce from the open market and procuring a few speciality items from local shops, your group is invited into George’s beautiful countryside home. You cook in the families outside kitchen which over looks a small village nestled on an olive farm. From using grandma’s mortar and pestle to sitting down and enjoying the labor of love- your experience is complete and framed with perfection.

An absolutely amazing... - An absolutely amazing experience! Much more than a cooking class, it was a lesson in Greek culture and history as well. We were warmly welcomed into the family home and had hands on participation with shopping and cooking followed by a delicious lunch. Recipes were provided as well. I can’t wait to try this at home! Thank you George and family for this fantastic experience.

Host too touchy with girls - While the activities were great, the host was uncomfortable touchy with girls that were both a lot younger than him and in relationships, often holding their shoulders or holding them by their hips. This was incredibly uncomfortable and undesirable from a host.
