This will be a beautiful scenic drive through villages and vineyards. We keep our tours authentic by visiting true locals and because these local villagers are busy with every day life – we cannot guarantee which stops we’ll be visiting after the cheese-making workshop... However, here’s an example list of products - honey / traditional sweets / wine / donkey milk products / carob honey / chocolates.
You'll be taken to the house of a local village lady to learn the traditional technique of halloumi and anari cheese making. This hands-on workshop ends with a delicious tasting that will include the cheeses made.
