Recap – Agio Oros Greek Supper Club

Last weekend I hosted a unique Supper Club that featured the cuisine and wine of Agio Oros.

It boasts of having the sea and mountains, the architecture of the monasteries built on mountainsides, the artistry of the iconography and wall murals.

The northern-Greek winery of Tsantali is the only winery allowed to maintain vineyards on Agio Oros and guests were able to taste these tremendous wines, as poured by Kolonaki Group.

I’ve prepared a menu that pays homage to the cuisine of Agio Oros – emphasis on vegetables, legumes, fish and seafood. All the dishes were prepared using Cretan olive oil from Nisos Importing.
