Fueled by the warmth of the lounge, you’ll embark on a forager’s quest into the Gomeda Valley, a realm known for its diverse flora, hidden Byzantine churches, and age-old pigeon houses.

With baskets brimming with your foraged treasures, you’ll head to the lounge, where the valley's bounty meets the kitchen's artistry. Under the guidance of our expert chefs, you’ll dive into the cooking process, learning how to transform your wild pickings into culinary creations. You’ll discover how ingredients like asparagus, sage, thyme, and sour cherries inspire the menu and how to incorporate them into delectable dishes and platters. And, of course, you’ll get to sample 4-5 seasonal mezes, prepared with locally sourced, geographically indicated products—each a testament to the region’s rich flavors and recommended by the chefs. Afterward, you’ll enjoy the delicious food you’ve prepared together, savoring every bite of your culinary creations.
