How to choose
The cooking class with lunch and wine tasting is the most reviewed in Santorini by a distance. For a seaside lunch, take the hands-on cooking class with wine and seaside dining in Kamari. With a chef, the hands-on class with a chef is smaller; for wine, the vineyard and winery tour with cooking class.
Formats: half-day classes with an Assyrtiko pairing; sunset classes on a caldera terrace; farm and winery classes using estate produce; hands-on meze and filo workshops ending in a shared meal.
What you will cook: Santorini fava, tomatokeftedes, white-aubergine dishes, dolmades and a filo pie, plus dips and a Greek salad, finished with local wine.
Price and time: roughly 75 to 130 dollars for a three- to four-hour class; more for a sunset or winery setting with a full meal.
Cooking the island’s volcanic produce
Santorini’s food comes from a dry, volcanic land, and a class here works with what grows on it: the yellow split-pea fava whipped into a purée and dressed with onion and oil; the sweet white aubergine; the intense cherry tomatoes turned into tomatokeftedes fritters; and caper leaves gathered from the cliffs. You cook a full meze spread and sit down to eat it, often with the island’s Assyrtiko poured alongside.
The setting is the point
What sets a Santorini class apart is where you do it – a village kitchen in Megalochori or Pyrgos, a farm using its own produce, or a terrace over the caldera at sunset. Several run at or near a winery, so the class and a tasting come together. It is a calmer, more personal alternative to the island’s busy restaurants.
How to choose
For the view, book a sunset caldera class; for the produce, a farm or winery class; both suit beginners and run in English. Pair it with a Santorini wine tour for the Assyrtiko story, and see the Greece hub for the wider country.
