Sicily, basking in its warm Mediterranean climate, boasts an agricultural landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. Through the ages, it has been a stage for Greeks, Romans, Arabs and various European powers, each leaving an indelible mark on the island’s culture, art, architecture and cuisine.
Prepare to embark on a culinary journey like no other, where every bite tells a story. The gastronomic legacy of Sicily is a fusion of diverse influences spanning centuries of history. Savour time-honoured dishes, including pasta infused with the bounty of the Mediterranean Sea – sardines, tuna, anchovies and prawns – all adorned with capers, olives and aromatic herbs. From indulging in the vibrant street food scene to immersing yourself in the secrets of Sicilian cuisine, meeting local artisans, and a cooking class with Italy’s original and most loved chef… Nonna, you’ll uncover the heart and soul of this culture. Enjoy a delectable chocolate tasting in Modica, where centuries-old traditions meet artisanal craftsmanship. Relish traditional dishes at local trattorias and fine dining experiences. Delight in a private picnic set against the backdrop of ancient temples, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We’ll take you on a journey to an exceptional herb farm, where you’ll discover the aromatic treasures of Sicily and have the opportunity to meet the passionate farmer behind it all. For those with a sweet tooth, we have plenty in store for you. Sicily is renowned for its world famous sweets and desserts, from the best gelato you will ever taste to sinking your teeth into the crisp shells and luscious cream fillings of cannoli, a Sicilian specialty.
Of course, no Sicilian journey would be complete without an exploration of its globally renowned wines, which include the robust Etna Rossa and the crisp Grillo whites, each encapsulating the island’s rich terroir. During your visit, you’ll have the privilege of indulging in private wine tours and tastings at Mount Etna and in an ancient abbey. A visit to the Mount Etna volcanic region is a must, along with sailing the beautiful Grotto Azzurra with your private chef on board.
This tour has been curated by Food I Am in collaboration with Italian Chef Melina Puntoriero, ensuring that your journey through Sicily is an authentic experience far from the well-worn tourist track.
