Around our table
Evenings to savour. Stories to share.
As the sun dips towards the horizon, gather around a large circular table beside the pool. Enjoy crisp, cool wine and sea views while the chef introduces an Ionian feast, sharing the ingredients, techniques and family stories behind each dish.
This is a relaxed culinary experience, rather than a cookery school. Watch, taste and ask questions—or put on an apron and help the chef if you wish. Share good food and conversation with fellow food lovers.
