Description

Beyond its natural beauty and historic landmarks, the island of Corfu is renowned for its culinary treasures — products shaped by pure ingredients, foreign influences, and deep-rooted local tradition.

During this exclusive gastronomic experience, you’ll meet local producers, explore traditional villages, and discover some of Corfu’s most iconic flavours: extra-virgin olive oil, small-batch wines, and the island’s famous kumquat.

Visit an olive mill and a family-run winery for guided tastings, and enjoy Greek coffee at a traditional café set in an authentic and serene landscape.

A journey rich in flavour, authenticity, and memorable encounters — the most delicious way to experience the soul of the island.

The itinerary may be slightly modified depending on pick-up point, tour date or weather conditions.

Itinerary

  1. KUMQUAT — THE GOLDEN JEWEL OF CORFU : The “Golden Orange” — the tiny fruit that grows exclusively in Corfu — arrived on the island over a century ago from the Far East. Its story dates back about 150 years, when the English nobleman and nature enthusiast Charlie Merlin inspired the local community to cultivate this rare Japanese fruit. We will visit a small kumquat workshop to discover its history, learn the best recipes, explore its nutritional benefits, and enjoy its unique flavour through various tastings, from liqueur to marmalade and more.
  2. LIMONCELLO - THE DRINK OF "LA DOLCE VITA" : We will also discover the craft of Corfiot limoncello — Greece’s first take on the iconic “dolce vita” liqueur. Inspired by its Italian origins and Corfu’s Venetian heritage, local artisans refined their own elegant version of this vibrant drink, creating a unique Mediterranean interpretation that continues to delight visitors today.
  3. LAKONES VILLAGE: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEWS IN CORFU AND THE BEST PHOTOS | 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.
  4. ENJOY GREEK COFFEE IN THE PLACE WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF CORFU : It’s time for us all to enjoy a nice Greek coffee break. On a balcony of a coffee house with stunning views will have the chance enjoy a cup of traditional Greek coffee. For Greeks, drinking coffee is like washing your face in the morning, it is some kind of a morning daily ritual because of the coffee’s strong taste and aroma. There could be no better idyllic place to grab a homemade local snack before continuing our journey!
  5. VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: THE LIQUID GOLD OF CORFU OLIVE OIL TASTING | In a serene Corfiot olive grove, we’ll visit a boutique olive press and learn about the island’s unique olive variety, its history, and the craft behind exceptional olive oil. We’ll also explore traditional stone mills and old tools from past generations. The experience concludes with a curated olive and olive-oil tasting, paired with local delicacies.
  6. VISIT TO AN AMAZING CORFIOT WINERY & WINE TASTING : At the heart of Corfu’s countryside, we’ll visit a charming family-run winery surrounded by expansive vineyards. The owners will introduce us to local grape varieties, the island’s wine traditions, and the craft behind quality winemaking. We’ll tour the winery, explore the cellar, and follow the journey from grape to bottle. The visit concludes with a refined wine tasting, paired with light local bites to complement the flavours.
