The village of Rivona is known to be the village of sages, springs, and bountiful nature. It houses the Shree Damodar Ramnath Devasthan, which is an iconic temple of the land, which also happens to be the starting point of this experience. From there, we visit a local’s home where you will be welcomed with a refreshing drink. You will be guided through a traditional Goan plantation completely managed by the family, where you will be able to recognise traditional spices, fruits, and vegetables, and also observe many natural, clear springs flowing through it. After foraging a few ingredients on the way, we will return back to the outdoor kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience.
The lunch features delicious, authentic dishes that arent found in your typical menu - seasonal specials and local favourites - a burst of flavours that will tantalize your taste buds! From spices grown within the farm, to other fresh produce, this is a fantastic day’s retreat to unwind and kick back amidst the lush greenery of the Goan hinterlands. Are you ready to get a taste of Goa like never before?
