The Mediterranean diet is widely acknowledged as healthy, wholesome and delicious. Here's your chance to understand what makes it tick, why it is easy to adopt, and how to make the most of the simple, earthy flavors inherent in it.
Travel inland to discover the source of produce on the island known as the Emerald of the Ionian. Lush and fertile vegetation make Corfu the greenest of the Greek Islands and a veritable salad bowl of agricultural activity.
Visit the beautiful Ambelonas Estate -- purveyors of fabulous organic fare. In accordance with Corfiot tradition, you will be welcomed with a tasty herbal tea. This allows you to start your visit refreshed and energetic. One of the owners of Ambelonas will accompany you on a walk among the vineyards and herb plantations, offering an overview of the vast range of products grown and produced here on the property.
After the walk, step inside the main building on the estate and enjoy a detailed explanation of the impressive ancient olive press. A presentation explains the Corfiot tradition surrounding wine and olive oil production, the role of olive oil in local cuisine, and some recipes for preserving foods using wine, vinegar and olive oil. Take a seat in the beautiful shaded area outside to enjoy a cooking demonstration and a view of the surrounding hills.
Your tastebuds will thank you for sampling some of the delicious treats prepared using estate-grown products. Accompanying red and white wines perfectly match the selected snacks.
After the tasting, you'll have some free time for another stroll or time to browse among the Ambelonas organic products available for purchase.
