This experience is set on the island of Santorini, located in the South Aegean region of Greece, within the Cyclades island group. Santorini is internationally recognized for its volcanic caldera, whitewashed architecture, and a distinctive winemaking tradition rooted in Assyrtiko and other indigenous grape varieties grown in volcanic soil. The cooking class draws on the island's agricultural heritage, including Santorini's famed cherry tomatoes and yellow split peas used in fava bean preparations, both protected designations of origin. The two wineries visited during the tour operate within the Santorini PDO wine appellation, offering guests direct exposure to a winemaking culture that dates back over three thousand years. The island's position in the southern Aegean, combined with its dry climate and mineral-rich soil, produces wine profiles unlike those found elsewhere in Greece or the Mediterranean. This tour connects travelers to the geographic and culinary identity of Santorini in a format that is both accessible and deeply local.
