Description

At the foot of Mount Etna, the richness of Sicily begins with its volcanic soil. This private experience invites your family to discover how local ingredients travel from the garden to the table, celebrating the traditions that have shaped Sicilian cuisine for generations.

Your journey begins in an organic vegetable garden, where you’ll pick seasonal vegetables and fragrant herbs growing in the fertile volcanic landscape. Along the way, you’ll learn about local produce, sustainable farming, and the importance of seasonality in Sicilian cooking.

Back in the kitchen, you’ll prepare fresh handmade pasta using traditional recipes handed down through generations. Guided step by step, you’ll learn how to make the dough, shape a classic Sicilian pasta, and transform the freshly harvested ingredients into a delicious meal. Once everything is ready, you’ll sit down together to enjoy your creations, accompanied by a carefully selected local wine for the adults.

For an even more immersive experience, you may choose to enjoy your meal at a beautifully set outdoor table nestled among the vineyards, organic vegetable garden, and charming Victorian greenhouses. Available as an optional upgrade, this exclusive setting offers an unforgettable way to savor the dishes you’ve prepared in the very landscape where the experience began.
