Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries Eco-Agritourism Network, 6-Day Seminar in Crete, Greece The Magnificent West: Wild Nature, Organic Food Production, Artisan Cooking Demos and Classes.
Available Dates: September 27- October 2, 2010 Join us for an exciting seminar in Western Crete focusing on food from the ground up. Our base is in a small village in the foothills of the magnificent White Mountains. We'll spend a week exploring the region and enjoying the superb fresh and local cuisine. Before we head to the kitchen to cook with great local chefs, we'll meet people that produce traditional and organic ingredients in the region, which is the foundation for culinary delights to come. In the company of local guides and community-based tourism directors, we'll travel to organic farms to discover how high-quality olive oil and wine is produced and taste the results. Along the way, we'll stop at historic sites and artisan food shops. Accommodation is in beautifully restored cottages or apartments in the village with private balconies or gardens. Throughout the week, we'll meet people involved in cultural-natural heritage preservation projects. This is a great opportunity to learn about sustainable living practices while supporting important local action programs.
