Join one of the nation’s top sommeliers in a spectacular location just below the Acropolis hill with spectacular Parthenon views to discover the art of Greek wine. You’ll focus on rare wines and grapes from local wineries, such as Roditis, Limnio, Kidonitsa, Muscat, and Mandilaras, and get to sample nibbles alongside it too.

Greek Wine Tasting with Sommelier

Garlic mayo is a creamy sauce blending mayonnaise with minced garlic, often used to enhance various dishes.

Garlic Mayo

Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Dough

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling

After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into squares or circles, roughly 3 inches wide.

Roll and Cut the Dough

Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each square. Moisten the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle or half-moon, and press to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

Fill the Ravioli

Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, the beaten egg in another, and the bread crumbs in a third.

Prepare for Breading

Dust each ravioli with flour, dip in the beaten egg, and then coat with bread crumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

Bread the Ravioli

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Ravioli

Serve the toasted ravioli hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese for garnish.
