Learn

Organise a selection of classes with our local experts

Immerse yourself in the local traditions with cooking classes, ricotta making or gardening lessons.

The perfect way to take home an understanding of the region. We’ve partnered with our local chefs and farmers to teach you some of the tips and tricks of Sicilian cooking and agriculture. These experiences can usually organized for larger groups, but if you are in a couple we can see what we can do.

Gardening Class.

Discover the Joy of Gardening at Our Agriturismo

Immerse yourself in our gardening class, where you can explore the art of cultivating plants firsthand. Spend time in our garden, handpick fresh vegetables, learn about farming practices, and savour the flavours of our freshly harvested ingredients. Guided by a local farmer, you'll gain valuable insights and create a deeper connection with nature.

Please let us know at least a week in advance as our farmers will need to plan around their schedules!

Cooking Class.

Farm-to-Table Sicilian Cooking: Discover the Essence of Traditional Cuisine.

Get hands-on experience with traditional Sicilian cuisine using farm-fresh ingredients. Skilled chefs will guide you through the authentic local techniques, helping you create delicious dishes that showcase the true flavours of Sicily.

Groups of 4 or more can usually be accommodated on site with advance notice, otherwise let us know at least a week in advance and we can try to book you in with one of our local partners.

Ricotta Making.

Immerse yourself in the authentic Sicilian experience with ricotta making classes led by Silvio, a skilled Sicilian shepherd.

Join Silvio as he shares his generations-old knowledge and techniques for crafting delicious ricotta cheese. Learn the art of curdling fresh sheep's milk, delicately forming the curds, and transforming them into the creamy goodness that is ricotta.

This class is seasonal and depends very much on Silvio’s availability, as he’s often out working in the fields.
