Exploring Sicily Through Food, Wine, and People ~ 10 Days and 9 Nights ~ Luxury Tour ~ October 2024 ~

Our hand-selected, authentic experiences will give you a deeper understanding of Sicilian culture and history, the opportunity to meet local producers, farmers and vintners, the opportunity to learn to make traditional dishes and discover the natural beauty of Sicily, all while relaxing in luxury 5 and 4 star hotels with sea views.  

Our guests can participate in many food-related activities: hunting for truffles, cooking with local chefs, making homemade pasta and bread, sampling olive oils, cooking ricotta, pulling mozzarella, piping cannoli, tasting a variety of Sicilian wines, and eating many locally sourced meats, seafood, and treats, plus the option of a Michelin star dinner! 

Although the view of Mount Etna is spectacular, our guests will experience “her” in person either by hiking on her slopes! You will also explore hidden gems and special destinations, such as the secluded ancient watermill and the caves on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna.
