Greek Cooking Class at Agni Farm near Thessaloniki

Cook a full Greek meal from recipes passed down through generations, then sit down and eat it.

A 5-hour cooking class at Agni farm near Thessaloniki where you learn to prepare traditional Greek dishes, cut vegetables from the garden, and share the meal you've cooked with other participants over local wine. The class includes pickup, a live guide in English, coffee or tea on arrival, and vegan options are available. It's limited to adults 18 and older.

The experience

The class starts with Greek coffee or hot mountain tea and meze snacks at the farm, where you'll meet the family who runs it and get a sense of the place before you cook. You wander through the vegetable garden, cut fresh vegetables and pick eggs from the coop. The ingredients you'll actually use in the kitchen. The menu rotates through dishes like eggs with tomatoes, horiatiki salad, tzatziki, giouvetsi with veal, gemista and semolina halva, all recipes that have been cooked the same way for generations.

You cook the full meal yourself under guidance, learning the techniques and the reasoning behind each step. When everything is ready, you sit down with the other cooks and eat what you've made, washing it down with local wine and drinks. The whole experience is built around the idea that cooking Greek food is not separate from Greek life. It's how the family eats, and for five hours, you eat the way they do.

Private transportation picks you up and brings you back, and the class runs in English with a live guide. If you have food allergies or follow a vegan diet, the menu can be adjusted before you arrive.
