Why you’ll love this…

Stroll around the fishing village of Benitses
Tour Bioporos Organic Farm and learn about their organic produce
Experience a Corfiot cooking lesson
Feast on the typical dishes you've created for lunch

What to expect

Go local with a private lesson in cooking Corfiot cuisine. Visit Bioporos Organic Farm and get hands on in creating your very own Greek feast. Take a tour of the estate to learn about their farm-to-table ethos, before helping prepare a selection of traditional dishes that you'll dine on for lunch.

You'll drop by the cosy fishing village of Benitses first, where you'll take a short walking tour. Then it's off to Bioporos Organic Farm. Tucked-away in Corfu's sun-kissed countryside by the cooling shores of Korission Lake, the farm boasts almost ideal conditions for growing great produce. Welcomed by one of the farm's friendly team, you'll take a walk through fields full of fruit trees and vegetables to find out how their farm-to-fork approach helps get the best from mother earth.

And it's this larder of farm-fresh ingredients you'll be using to create two of Corfu's favourite dishes. Under the eye of a local chef, you'll learn how to make a typical Corfiot vegetable pie, plus the famous tzatziki sauce. Once the food is cooked, you'll tuck into your creations for lunch served with drinks.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Flavours of Corfu, Cook with Locals at an Organic Farm

Feel the soul of Corfu at Bioporos Organic Farm, situated on the banks of Korission lagoon. Your deep dive into Corfiot farming begins with an introduction to your hosts for the day and the true stars of the show: the farm's owners.First, you'll join the host's mother who will teach you how to make organic cosmetics, such as face masks, beeswax cream, and more. You'll use ingredients which you can find in your kitchen or garden back home, and take your creations with you at the end of the day.Next, prepare a traditional Corfiot pie, mix up your own tzatziki and knead bread. Your host will light the wood-burning oven and soon you can enjoy the aromas of the slow-cooked pie and bread you helped to prepare.While your lunch bakes, the owner himself will lead you through the farm, proudly showing off his collection of farming tools, his olive trees and bee hives. His tales illuminate the relationship between Corfu and olive farming, and his passion for regenerative agriculture shines through when he demonstrates how he promotes the conservation of endemic plant species. You'll also discover the history of this EU-protected lagoon and its impact on the local people, as well as details of the surrounding wildlife, rare flora and numerous bird species found here.After your trip around the farm, you'll savor lunch fresh from the oven, paired with a fresh salad from the farm's garden. For dessert, relax with a cup of coffee while you gaze over the idyllic scenery.
