A delightful food tour of the unique local products of Corfu.

The village of Lakones is literally "hung" on the edge of the cliff. The view from above is breathtaking and is probably the most beautiful on the whole island. The green color of the olives and the pines "embraces" the endless blue of the sea and the rocky coastline and the spectacle is more than shocking.

Almost all visitors to the island of Corfu visit this place to gaze at the unique view and take the most valuable photo of their lives.

At the heart of a Corfiot olive grove, we will meet the owners of a unique oil press that will happily inform us on the certain features of the Corfiot olives and olive oil as well as the unique olive variety, being cultivated on the island of Corfu, they will introduce us to the well-kept secrets of a good olive oil producer, and they will also talk about the socio-economic and historical role that olives play in the life of Corfiot’s. Finally, they will not forget to emphasize the healing properties of olive oil.

Our tour will be a throwback to the past, when oil producers used to use big, rotating stone wheels driven by animals to grind oils as well as we will see old pressers, containers for the storage of olive oil and a wide variety of original tools and vessels of that era.

Finally, we will have the chance of olive and olive oil tasting, accompanied by local products, while we will learn how to distinguish the special features of Corfiot olive oil like Corfiot’s do.

The hospitable owners of the winery will introduce us to the world of wine and grapes, inform us on the significance of wine for the everyday life of Corfiot’s, the varieties of grapes cultivated on the island of Corfu as well as the types of wines produced. We will be guided through their winery, and we will be able to see the whole process of how grapes turn into wine, we will learn the well-kept secrets of a good wine producer and finally we will visit the basement or root cellar where wine is being stored in a dark and dry place, protecting it from direct light.

After initiating the newcomers, we will enjoy wine tasting, including various types of wine with different colors, tastes, and flavors. A light snack prepared with local bio products will accompany our wine tasting, boosting our energy in order to continue our experiential tour.

The “Golden Orange”, this unique product growing solely on the island of Corfu, constitutes a tiny fruit which was brought to Corfu from the Far East over the last century. Its rich history will lead us about 150 years back to time, when an English nature lover and nobleman, named Charlie Merlin, visited Corfu, and inspired the locals cultivate this Japanize fruit.

We have planned to visit a kumquat processing workshop, in order to learn about the history of kumquat as well as which are the best kumquat recipes and the nutritional benefits of that fruit.
