Enjoying the Fruits of Your Labor
After the cooking lesson, it's time to savor the fruits of your labor. Gather around a beautifully set table to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared. Relish the flavors of each dish, complemented by local Santorini wine, known for its distinctive taste due to the volcanic soil. The communal dining experience allows you to share stories and enjoy the company of fellow participants, making it a memorable and convivial occasion.
