The farm-to-table concept is not an innovative trend in Pelion cuisine, it is our tradition.

Organic Farm to table cooking class

Spend a day at a charming organic farm on the slopes of Pelion, see agriculture in action, connect with nature, and enjoy a farm-to-table experience. At an altitude of 2,600 ft, pick fresh produce from the vegetable garden, collect herbs and eggs, and sip a cup of Greek mountain tea next to the wood-fired oven, while learning how to make the real Greek spanakopita. Children can ride the ponies, pet the donkeys, play with the little goats, or try archery. A Day on the Farm is ideal for families with children and travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences.

Pelion Women Cook

Experience our one-of-a-kind access to the kitchen of the women’s agrotourism cooperative in the village of Vizitsa, cook in the company of the local women, and taste the bounty of the most fertile mountain in Greece. The local women will share with you the secrets of traditional recipes and show you how to make hortopita, an elevated version of spanakopita containing dozens of different greens and herbs, whose aroma and flavor will linger in your mind long after you leave Pelion. At the charming courtyard of the coop, sit with the ladies and enjoy a variety of prepared authentic dishes, including their famous vegan cookies with extra virgin Pelion olive oil and the colorful spoon sweets paired perfectly with a cup of Greek mountain tea.

The Tsipouro Ritual

Get into the “spirit” of Volos and experience the tsipouro ritual, the most famous gastronomic tradition of the city. Tsipouro, a potent distilled spirit made by local wine producers, is paired with small meze dishes (tapas) in Volos’ more than 300 tsipouro restaurants. But the tsipouro ritual is not simply about drinking and eating. First and foremost, it’s about socializing, getting together with friends and enjoying life’s little pleasures. Follow a private tutored tasting in a space suitable for this specific purpose, try different types of the distilled spirit directly from the barrels, learn the fascinating history of this gastronomic tradition. Afterwards, a lunch-table full of scents and tastes from the local cuisine, is waiting for us in an one of the 300 tsipouro taverns! This is a day full of flavors, aromas and joy that will uplift your spirit and make you want to return to Volos again and again.
