Berber Farm Cooking Class
Dive into the heart of Moroccan culture with a hands-on cooking workshop at a traditional Berber farm, exclusively curated by Agafay Events. Set in the tranquil countryside just outside Marrakech, this immersive culinary adventure invites you to harvest organic ingredients and learn to prepare authentic tagine and couscous. Experience a rare glimpse into rural Berber life where food, family, and tradition are deeply intertwined.
Escape the bustle of Marrakech and discover the soul of Moroccan cooking class with Agafay Events. Your journey begins with a comfortable hotel pickup and a scenic drive through olive groves to a family-run farm in the Atlas Mountains foothills. Welcomed with mint tea and warm smiles, you’ll tour the organic garden to pick fresh herbs, tomatoes, and spices.
Roll up your sleeves for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn time-honored techniques—layering a tagine, steaming couscous in a traditional kaskas, and making sweet pastries. Under the guidance of a local Berber chef, you’ll prepare a full menu to share. Finally, gather around a table to enjoy your homemade feast with panoramic mountain views, creating a moment of connection and flavor that will stay with you long after your trip.
