Choose a tasting or a full dinner as the starting point for your event.

We shape the menu, performances and level of participation around your guests, venue and wishes, including any other ideas you would like to bring to the occasion.
Your occasion, the right setting.
Our gastronomy experiences travel to the setting that suits your event. The venue is agreed together, according to your guest numbers, concept and practical requirements. We can work at your chosen location or coordinate a suitable venue with you; Archaeopolis does not operate a permanent dining venue.
