Nafplio Cooking Class with Wine Tasting & Lunch

Cook Greek food and taste it with wine the same afternoon

A hands-on cooking class in Nafplio where you shop at a local market, prepare a four-course meal in a private studio under a professional chef's guidance, and eat what you've made with paired Greek wines. The class runs 3.5 hours and welcomes ages 13 and up. All equipment, aprons and ingredients are provided.

The experience

The morning starts at a local grocery shop in Nafplio, where you learn how Greeks choose seasonal produce and what makes one tomato or fish better than another for the dish you're about to cook. You'll pick the ingredients yourself (the actual shopping, not a pre-assembled kit), so you understand what goes into the meal before you step into the kitchen.

Then you move to the private culinary studio, where a professional chef walks you through preparing each of the four courses: a salad, an appetizer, a main dish and dessert. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work with your hands, with the chef correcting technique and explaining why each step matters. The studio has all the equipment and supplies you need, plus aprons and gloves for everyone.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down together and eat the meal you've made, with each course paired to a carefully chosen Greek wine. The whole experience, market to table, takes 3.5 hours, and you leave knowing how to make at least one of these dishes at home.

What’s included

Is this one for you?Book this class if you want to cook alongside other food lovers and actually eat what you've made, rather than watch a chef work. The small group size means the chef can give you real feedback on technique, and the market visit teaches you how to shop like a Greek cook, not just follow a recipe.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years). Under 13: they can't be included in the booking.

What kind of Greek dishes will I actually cook in the class?

The class covers a full meal: a salad, an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. The specific dishes change with the season and what's available at the market that day, so each class is different.

Do I need cooking experience to join?

No. The chef guides you through every step, and the class is designed for people learning to cook Greek food for the first time. You'll work alongside other food lovers, not professional cooks.

Is the market visit part of the class time, or does it add extra hours?

The market visit is included in the 3.5-hour class time. You shop first, then move to the studio to cook and eat, so everything happens in one session.

What happens if I have a dietary restriction or allergy?

Let the operator know before the class. They can work with you on adjustments, though the core menu is built around traditional Greek ingredients and techniques.
