This cooking class offers an authentic, hands-on experience that goes beyond just cooking. At Villa Stefania Dream, guests not only learn to prepare traditional Cretan dishes but also harvest fresh, organic ingredients straight from our garden. With the guidance of a local cook, you’ll experience the true flavors of Crete, connect with local culture, and enjoy a meal you've created surrounded by the beauty of our vineyard and gardens. It’s more than a class—it’s a full immersion into Cretan life, hospitality, and cuisine.

What To Expect

Roll up your sleeves and stir up some memories… Welcome to the heart of Cretan hospitality, where the garden is bursting with flavor, the kitchen always smells like something delicious, and every dish tells a story. In our family-run haven in beautiful Rethymno, we're inviting you to join us for a hands-on culinary adventure. Your day begins with a warm welcome (and maybe a few cheeky olives to nibble on). Then it’s off to the garden—our pride and joy—where you’ll harvest seasonal fruits, crisp vegetables, and aromatic herbs straight from the earth. No grocery store in sight, just sunshine and soil! With your basket full, you'll head into the kitchen, where a local cook will guide you through the creation of classic Cretan dishes. We’ll laugh, we’ll chop, and we might even sneak in a little tsikoudia while the food simmers. Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down to a long, leisurely lunch enjoying the fruits of your labor with good company and great views. And when you're done? Kick back by the pool or under the shade of our vineyard. Because, we believe that the best meals end with full hearts, happy bellies, and a little time to simply be. Come hungry. Leave smiling.

    We had such a wonderful experience at Villa Stefania. Kleanthi made us feel right at home and made this class suitable to our previous cooking experience. We learned a lot about Cretan & Greek food and were very happy in the end about eating our self-made version of the recipes Kleanthi shared with us! Everything happens in wonderful surroundings with 99% of the ingredients coming from Villa Stefania directly or Kleanthi’s relatives’ gardens (which feels super magical). There were so many nice touches and details, but we don’t want to take it all away, you have to experience it for yourself. She, her family and the staff truly live up to their motto “Come as a guest and return as family”! We really had such a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone!
