At Towns of Italy in Palermo, chefs such as Lidia and Marcello guide you through sfincione, pizza, and chocolate gelato. You shape dough, watch the gelato demonstration, eat your creations with wine or soft drinks, and leave with recipes and a certificate.
“Very fun, enlightening, and everything was delicious. Met some amazing people too!”
In a Catania cooking laboratory, chefs such as Agata and Simona guide you through bruschetta, sweet-and-sour caponata, fresh pasta alla Norma, and cannoli. The three-hour class is hands-on, limited to 14 people, and ends with lunch or dinner, Sicilian wine, and recipes to take home.
“We had a beautiful afternoon cooking with Agatha. She was very informative about the Sicilian culture cooking and our menu was delicious. Highly recommend”
Spend about two and a half hours in a Messina home with a Cesarina host, watching a private cooking demonstration before sitting down to seasonal starters, fresh pasta, a main course, dessert, and regional wine. Hosts may include Consuelo, Rossella, or Mariella.
“It’s honestly difficult to specify the most memorable moments from our visit with Cesarine but the welcoming interaction and hospitality we experienced is something we will never forget. The food was outstanding and bountiful. Her puppy was adorable as well.”
Join Arturo and Captain Giovanni for a small-group sunset boat trip from Aci Trezza past Lachea Island, the Cyclops stacks, Aci Castello, and Ulysses’ caves, with time to swim. Then ride to Acireale for wine, regional food, dessert, and dinner in a Sicilian family home.
“Very warm welcome, good explanations, and the dinner with the family was 5 stars, recommended!”
Pick a coast, a volcano or a kitchen.
