Traditions beyond time
Corfu’s culinary and artisanal heritage is expressed through its produce, methods, and enduring local practices.
At Patounis Savonnerie, soap is still produced using traditional techniques established in 1891, offering a direct link to this historic Mediterranean craft. Olive groves across the island offer tastings of extra virgin oil, whose aroma and texture reflect both variety and method of pressing. Wine experiences range from vineyard visits to curated dinners featuring Greek and European labels, each centred on regional production and pairing. Cooking classes introduce Corfiot recipes in structured, hands-on sessions, culminating in a multi-course meal served with local wines. Beekeeping experiences reveal the role of pollinators in the island’s ecosystem, with tastings of honey, pollen, and propolis accompanied by explanations about their production.
