Honey Tasting at The Orchard in Vari

“Perivoli sti Vari” (The Orchard in Vari) is a farm-to-fork restaurant on the outskirts of Athens.

Situated right in the middle of a small urban farm, it gives city dwellers the opportunity to have daily contact with nature and to enjoy healthy food prepared from our field.

Our seasonal vegetables (certified organic by TUV Austria) are grown using regenerative practices (permaculture) that we harvest daily. Our chef then uses them together with the produce of small local producers to create delightful, healthy meals in season. Our chickens provide the eggs for wonderful breakfasts, and every winter our olives are fed into a small olive press to yield extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil.

Tour and Tasting

Our honey program focuses on fostering appreciation for bees’ importance in our ecosystem. After touring our vegetable plots and orchard, and discussing our bee-friendly gardening practices, participants learn about different honey varieties, the value of raw, unprocessed honey, and taste three aromatic bouquets of locally produced honey batches. 

We suggest concluding the experience with an à la carte meal at our farm-to-table restaurant, where you can savor the abundance of our harvest from the surrounding plots (meal not included in the price of the activity – please calculate an extra hour).
