The tastes and flavors of Greece.
Greek cuisine has a 4,000-year-old culinary tradition. The food heritage has been enriched through the years and cultural influences, creating the “Greek Mediterranean diet”, one of the world’s most healthy diets.
Food and wine are major elements in local feasts and collective activities. The four ancient products of the Greek culinary heritage are: cheese, wine, honey and olive oil. The diversity of the terrain, traditional methods of production and sustainable modern techniques contribute to the high quality of the products.
Many wine producing zones in Greece have been designated as PDO (Protected Destination of Origin). There are wineries for visiting and wine tasting within these regions.
Either participating in cooking lessons, visiting traditional farms or enjoying a gastronomy walking tour, the Greek cuisine is not only about eating but mostly about exploring new tastes and flavors and share unique experiences.
Doucas Tours & Travel organizes wine and food activities all over Greece.
