Fantastic Experience
The taste of Rhodes: village cooking and wine tasting tour exceeded my expectations. Addie, our guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging. I loved hearing about the houses, the people and walking the streets of the village we were going to have our hands on cooking class in. I really enjoyed learning about the ladies that started the agricultural Co-op and visiting the lovely boutique winery. The winery was in the middle of the town and we saw where the wines were made. The wines we tasted were very different from what is mass produced, with very different flavour profiles. I really enjoyed learning the traditional Greek recipes. It is really good to learn from someone who has experience with the recipes and learn the techniques that they use. I had a great time sharing stories while eating the foods that we made, as well as enjoying other dishes from the region. To finish we had a lovely dessert before going to have a traditional Greek Coffee. I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves being immersed in the culture and not just visiting Rhodes. It is a small group tour which makes the experience more personal. If you only get time to do one hands on experience, then I would recommend this tour. 10/10
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering the local traditions, learning authentic Greek recipes, and tasting the region’s wines. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Addie. It’s lovely to hear that the experience gave you such a meaningful connection with Rhodes and its culture. We hope to welcome you again! Kind regards, Fanny

Great time in the backcountry.
Great time in the backcountry with Addie - with a sprinkle of botany to boot. Very well curated activities, and the meal at the end - chef's kiss!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the countryside with Addie, along with the little botanical touches. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re happy the meal was a highlight! Best regards, Fanny

Food! Fun! & Wine what’s not to like!
Another fab day with Trekking Hellas in June 2025 in little village packed with big flavours and so many different products growing! Made part of our lunch & then came back to the taverna for feast at the end. Met a lovely bunch of people
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering the village, trying the local products and, of course, the cooking and feast at the end. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re happy you met such a lovely group along the way! Kind regards, Fanny

A great day that takes you out of Old Town to see parts of Rhodes
We had a great day with Addy. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and clearly loves what she does. We enjoyed our experience. The tour took us to a beautiful town that is an hour's drive outside of Old Town. The tour took the full day. Our favorites were the cooking lessons, the stop at a lovely coffee house, and the women's cooperative - although more samples would generate more sales.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! 😊 We’re so happy you had a great day with Addie and enjoyed the cooking, coffee stop, and visit to the women’s cooperative. We really appreciate your feedback! It was a pleasure having you with us. Best regards, Fanny

Completely worth it!!!
Best tour we booked throughout Greece! Definitely worth the time and price. From the village tour, the wine tasting, the cooking to the magnificent lunch it was all perfection! Thank you, Addie, for being the most gracious host and guide! FYI if you’re on a cruise ship it was a bit longer than 4 hours.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Robin for your lovely review - I am so glad you bth loved the tour and the day and I apologise for keeping you a bit longer than planned! I hope you enjoy making the recipes and drinking the wine and look back on your time with us fondly! Till we meet again - I hope - take care!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions?
+
Included: Local Guide(s); Alcoholic beverages; All Fees and Taxes; Visit a local cafe for Greek Coffee; and Cooking Class. Not included: Any personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 386 listed pickup locations in and around Rhodes. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Taste of Rhodes: Village Cooking, Wine & Traditions?
+
