Gourmet Tours - Margi Farm & Organic Food Experience

OVERVIEW

Dine on organic Greek dishes paired with local wines after an enlightening tour of the farm that produces most everything that you will consume. Before traveling inland to the property, you will pause for photos of Kastella, a historical neighborhood on what is often referred to as the Riviera of Piraeus. The setting is so captivating that Aristotle Onassis once had intentions of turning Kastella into a Greek version of Monte Carlo. Margi Farm is an oasis of a different sort. It lies in the Kalyvia area with acres of vineyards and olive groves surrounding it. As you meander about, the guide will describe the organic agricultural practices and how mechanization is kept to a minimum. The meal that follows will be organic, using ingredients from the farm. The dishes may include dolmas with yogurt sauce, eggplant-stuffed pies, vegetable moussaka and grilled souvlakia. Everything will be exceptionally fresh, organic and follow a farm-to-table philosophy.
