Step into the sun soaked flavors of Greece with an evening at Grovestone that celebrates the rustic charm and bold simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine. From fresh olives and tomatoes to fragrant herbs, creamy feta, and the golden sweetness of phyllo desserts, this menu pays tribute to the timeless dishes found on Greek tables.

Our chef will guide you through a five-course tasting menu that blends tradition with a modern twist, bringing to life the vibrant flavors of the Aegean. Alongside each dish, enjoy thoughtfully paired wines that complement the rich, bright, and refreshing notes of the meal.

Whether you’re discovering Greek cuisine for the first time or revisiting familiar favorites, this class invites you to eat, sip, and celebrate like family just as the Greeks do.

Sit back, sip, and enjoy as we bring each dish to life in front of you, sharing techniques, ingredients, and stories along the way.

Great for date night or girls night out! Just sit back, eat, drink and socialize while we do all the work!
