Think Sicily is all volcano? Maybe at one point it was, but join us on the 10 day tour of the western part of the island, where the only shadows cast are yours as you soak in the incredible sites, sounds and flavors of ancient temples, incredible seaside villages, secluded beaches and some of the best wines anywhere in the world.

SORRY, BOOKINGS CLOSED. If it feels like we’re playing with fire by offering a tour of the coast of Sicily, we are (this is volcano country after all). Where to go is not as easy as simply pointing and saying Nags Head because each of the three coasts are as different as night and day. Which is why we are here to help. Not by making your up mind up for you, but spending a rich, wonderful sun-drenched two weeks, seeing them all for yourself.

Surrounded on all sides by some of the most tranquil, crystal clear waters found anywhere in the world, you’d be right to question why on earth would you go anywhere else in Sicily. But you’d be wrong. Stretching across much of the northern half of the island and through much of its interior lies a rich, wild and wondrous territory that captures much the same beauty, tradition and soul more well known along its seductive beaches and stunning coast. Join us and see where, how and why the first humans to settle Sicily chose the mountains over the coast, which eventual gave rise to the great civilizations who were to follow. 

Cooking Tour Sicily is not only a series of cooking classes, but a deepening of the knowledge of the Sicilian territory by participating in the creation of Sicilian food with one's own hands. This journey will bring authentic experiences to each of the participants, bringing them into close contact with the farming culture, the food and wine, as well as the pastry and dairy art of Modica.

On this 10-day island adventure, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite off-the-beaten path places in pursuit of a truly authentic and full immersion into the people, culture, and cuisine of Sicily. We’ll walk through intriguing UNESCO World Heritage sites dating back centuries. Experience the outdoor theater of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Stroll the picturesque streets of remote mountain towns; Dip our feet in the crystal clear waters found alongside enchanting seaside villages. And otherwise enjoy la simplice goduria, the simple bliss, of the unsurpassed flavor, traditions and community of 3,000 years of human existence. This is the true essence of the Sicilian way of life discovered the same for us when we first arrived on the island, piano piano, slowly slowly, step by step.
