Santorini’s Grace Hotel Holds Exciting Gastronomy Events for Summer

Santorini’s Grace Hotel, the only member of Auberge Resorts in Europe, in July and August will host a number of exciting mixology and gastronomy events, inspired by the island’s bountiful offering of pure, delicious ingredients.

This season, and for the first time ever, Grace Hotel hosts a legendary duo: Chef Lefteris Lazarou of Varoulko Restaurant and Baba au Rum Bar Founder Thanos Prunarus.

Throughout his decades-long career, Chef Lefteris Lazarou has manifested his love for local, home-grown ingredients, recruiting their unique flavours in his sumptuous recipes. At Grace Hotel’s Varoulko Santorini, the lauded chef’s philosophy encounters an island rich in tradition with a unique wine-making patrimony.

Santorinian wines are a natural addition to Lazarou’s roster of flavoursome allies as their outstanding flavours have the capacity to not only enrich any dish but also serve as the perfect accompaniment to meals prepared with care and passion.

This July and August, Grace Hotel will be hosting the most unique taste explorations, in partnership with some of the island’s best wineries including the Boutari Winery (July 22-23), the Artemis Karamolegos Winery (July 29-30) and Estate Argyros (August 13-14).

Expert sommeliers from these top Santorini estates will be visiting Grace Hotel and Varoulko Santorini to initiate guests in a delicious voyage: a sensational menu curated by chef Lazarou himself, accompanied by the most balanced, and intriguing pairings of local grape varieties such as Assyrtiko, Athiri, Mandilaria and Vinsanto, for a sensory experience like no other.

Meanwhile, Grace Hotel welcomes Thanos Prunarus to the 363 Bar by Baba Au Rum. The pioneering founder of the Athenian Baba Au Rum, featured in the world’s top 50 bars, joins forces with a team of seasoned bar professionals for a series of inspiring, uplifting and exciting cocktail masterclasses scheduled to take place from July 13-17.

Prunarus’ immersive masterclass combines heritage and innovation while pairing Mediterranean staples with the contemporary art of mixology in the most exciting way.

Overlooking Santorini’s Caldera, Grace Hotel is introducing its guests to the island’s unparalleled beauty while offering a unique stay of the highest standards.
