We had an absolutely amazing experience with Maggy from start to finish! The food we made was delicious and she was kind, patient and clearly passionate about her farm. She even accommodated my husband who needed to be gluten free! We have already recommended her cooking class to people we have met along the way!

A Taste of Greece, Rooted in Nature
Escape to the sun-kissed hills of Kefalonia, where olive trees sway, cicadas sing, and prickly pears glow under the Mediterranean sky. At Opuntia Farm, you’ll roll up your sleeves for a hands-on meze cooking class that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Greek tradition.
Harvest fresh ingredients straight from the fields, learn to craft small plates and savor your creations surrounded by fragrant herbs and fruiting cacti.
Sip, taste, and laugh at the family style table - this is farm-to-table the Greek way: earthy, joyful, and unforgettable.
Alcoholic beverages
House wine, ouzo and tsipouro are included.
Carbonated beverages
We do not have refreshments, as they are full of preservatives and totally against our farm's spirit.
Walk through the farm and uncover the story of the prickly pear.
Bask in the Mediterranean sun as you stroll among rows of vibrant Opuntia cacti, learning how these resilient plants have become a symbol of Kefalonia’s landscape and spirit. Hear the story of Opuntia Kefalonia.
When in season, you’ll have the chance to taste freshly picked prickly pears — sweet, refreshing, and straight from the source..
Join us for a hands-on Greek cooking experience and master classic island dishes like tzatziki, made with creamy yogurt, fresh cucumbers, garlic, and olive oil from the farm. Learn simple, delicious recipes passed down through generations — and enjoy your creations In our family style table.
Round off your visit with a tasting of house wine, ouzo, and tsipouro — each a reflection of Kefalonia’s rich culture and warm hospitality. Relax, sip, and share stories.

Absolutely Wonderful Class with a Funny Local
Maggie offers the class at her Prickly Pear Farm and we took it with our 24 year old daughters, we all LOVED it. The food was easy and also delicious, the wine flowed, the company was great and Maggie was endearing and wonderful. We will for sure make these dishes at home. 10/10 recommend!
