What is the route of the tours?

The massive volcanic eruption that shaped the legendary caldera had contributed to forming an unusual and different volcanic growing environment. This uniqueness allows a variety of agricultural products to grow and to create admirable fruits. Therefore, at the beginning of the cooking and tasting tours, the aspiring chefs are guided to local agricultural paradises around the island. The tour leaders explain thoroughly about each local product and its history while in some cooking classes, the students are the ones who collect the first-hand products from the fields, a quite popular trend known as ‘the farm to table concept’. The tours, most of the time, include visits to wineries which offers added value to the whole experience while they and end in open kitchen restaurants that host the classes.
