What to expect

In the delightful village of Testa dell'Acqua, nestled in the Noto area and made famous by a popular television series, you'll embark on a one-of-a-kind journey that weaves together history, culinary tradition, and artisanal mastery. Your adventure commences at the MAT - Anthropological Museum, where you'll delve into local farming culture via an engaging and interactive tour. This exploration will lead you to ancient cave dwellings and age-old agricultural practices, such as herb harvesting.

The core of this experience lies in the cooking - an immersive culinary workshop that invites you to roll up your sleeves, taste, and reconnect with the authentic flavours of Sicilian tradition. Alongside the museum team, you'll prepare historic dishes using locally sourced ingredients, all while learning about their origins through fascinating anecdotes and time-honoured customs.

A short self-drive away from the museum, you'll find yourself at a local distillery. Here, herbs like nepitella, thyme, and marjoram take centre stage in the creation of exquisite artisanal bitters. You'll uncover each step of the production process, sample different varieties, and gain insight into their properties. It's a true immersion into the aromas, natural beauty, and tastes that narrate the story of authentic Sicily.
