The Art of Setting the Table: A Celebration of Greek Traditions

Under the golden light of Andros, our Art of Setting the Table workshop was an ode to the effortless elegance of Greek hospitality. Guests gathered around a thoughtfully curated tablescape, where the essence of the island came to life through both food and florals. Olives, fragrant local herbs, and sun-ripened citrus—found in the dishes and woven into the décor—blurred the line between what was plated and what adorned the table. Each place setting was a work of art, featuring handcrafted ceramic plates, linen napkins, and custom handmade name cards—each one a delicate keepsake. The textures and tones reflected the island’s natural beauty, creating a setting both inviting and timeless.

Beyond aesthetics, the workshop explored the rituals of Greek dining, from the art of communal feasting to the significance of traditional tableware. Guests learned how to recreate an authentic Hellenic experience at home—balancing flavors, embracing symbolism, and curating an atmosphere of warmth and connection. As conversation flowed over each course, the table became more than a place to dine—it became a canvas for storytelling, tradition, and shared moments.
