Tasting Rhodes: village cooking class, wine tasting and lunch

Tasting Rhodes is a four-hour village cooking class, wine tasting and lunch operated by Trekking Hellas, a Greek outdoor and cultural activity company; the listing does not state how many years the company has been running, so no founding date is given. The experience is based in Apollona, an inland village in the west-central interior of Rhodes, in Greece's South Aegean region, and the meeting point is Apollona 851 06 at 09:30. The programme combines several stops: a visit to an agricultural cooperative, a wine tasting, a hands-on cooking lesson in Rhodian village cuisine, a shared lunch of the dishes prepared, and a visit to a historical cafe. The balance leans savoury, built around the cooking lesson and lunch, with local wine and a cafe stop adding drinks and light sweet notes. The listed inclusions are the cooperative visit, wine tasting, cooking lesson, lunch, the historical cafe visit and taxes. Hotel pickup is available as an upgrade, with prices from about €95 (roughly $109) per person, or €125 (roughly $144) with hotel pickup. Drinks beyond the tastings and gratuities are not listed as included. Shared group departures run on Mondays and Saturdays from April to October, while private sessions can be arranged year-round. The minimum age is 6, making the class suitable for families. Group size is not stated, though shared classes are usually modest in size, and the activity is typically conducted in English. Dietary substitutions are not described in the listing, so vegetarians and visitors with allergies should contact Trekking Hellas at +30 210 33 10 323 or info@trekking.gr before booking. The village setting offers a quieter, more rural view of Rhodes than the coastal resorts, and the cooperative and cafe stops give context on local agriculture and village life.
