Sicilian Farm-to-Table Experience: A Culinary Journey Through Tradition

Over ons

Join a Food journey to recreate every day of the week our traditional, legendary banquet of the Sicilian Sunday lunch, with a Sicilian wine ceremony featuring unlimited wine, traditional toasts, poetry, and songs.

​At our organic riverside archaeological family farm, every flavor begins in the garden and every recipe tells a story. We are licensed Historical and Nature Guides, sharing the real Sicily through food, nature, and tradition.

​Pick fresh vegetables from the garden, grind wheat on a stone mill, join our ravioli cooking class, and experience fire cooking just like grandma taught us.

​After lunch, swim and dive in the crystal-clear water right here at the farm, in the most beautiful canyon in Sicily.
