The award-winning hotel's Michelin star chef and World's 50 Best mixologists are providing guests with unique experiences that showcase Santorini's local culture and cuisine
SANTORINI , June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Located in a quaint village on the island of Santorini overlooking the famed caldera, Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection is a modern respite that feels worlds away and invites all travelers to uncover the Greek Islands' creativity, cuisine and culture. This summer, the boutique hotel has collaborated with highly-acclaimed Athens chef, Lefteris Lazarou, to bring his Michelin-star Greek cuisine to the island at Varoulko Santorini while Baba Au Rum, one of the World's 50 Best Bars in Athens, has reimagined a new, creative mixology program. Today, Grace Hotel announces various upcoming events and local partnerships that will continue to tout its restaurant and bar as the best new culinary experience in Greece.
The world-renowned bartender Thanos Prunarus and his team will host a unique, week-long cocktail Mediterranean Mixology Masterclass at 363 Bar by Baba Au Rum that teaches a combination of heritage and innovation through mixology. Framed by views of the imposing Caldera, Prunarus fuses his years of expertise with the best ingredients the island has to offer—like fresh Santorini tomatoes or wild island capers—for cocktails with an island twist. Between July 13-18, 2022, guests will learn to pair staples of the Mediterranean diet with some of the world's best spirits for avant-garde beverages that are best paired with a splendid Santorini sun-down as the backdrop.
The brand new Varoulko Santorini by Chef Lefteris Lazarou combines genuine respect for Greece's most delicious, raw ingredients and cutting-edge innovation. The menu is entirely Mediterranean and is balanced by organic produce, local grains, herbs and spices but primarily driven by fresh seafood to reflect the generosity of the island's fertile grounds. Throughout the months of July and August, the island's top sommeliers will introduce guests to the most balanced and intriguing wine pairings. Through a new series of events, Gastronomic Journey of Varoulko opens up a brand new world of taste and lets guests into the secrets of Santorini's centuries-old wine-making traditions. On the whitewashed terraces of Grace Hotel, exceptional local grape varieties—such as Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani and Mandilaria from award-winning wineries—meet the sumptuous flavors of Chef Lazarou's special pairing menu for a sensory-inducing experience like no other.
Gastronomic Journey of Varoulko includes partnerships with the following local wineries:
- July 22 and 23: Boutari
- July 29 and 30: Artemis Karamolegos
- August 13 and 14: Estate Argyros
A veritable journey for the senses is unfolding at Grace Hotel this summer. While guests enjoy the best epicurean experiences on Santorini this summer, they will also be able to revel in the perfect vantage point over the island's breathtaking caldera vistas and sunsets.
