A Vittoria silician cooking class and organic winery wine tasting to cook fresh pasta with a chef and enjoy sommelier-paired DOCG wines.

Immerse yourself in the rich culinary heritage and diverse terroir of southern Sicily with a Vittoria silician cooking class and organic winery wine tasting. This intimate two-and-a-half-hour small-group experience takes place at a historic estate, kicking off with a deep dive into the heart of organic farming. You will stroll through flourishing vineyards where biodiversity takes center stage, observing native hedges, wild grasses, and natural habitats that allow the estate to self-regulate entirely without chemicals. Along the way, you will explore the historical roots of local winemaking with a special visit to look at the estate’s old wine press.

Following your vineyard walk, you will move directly into the estate kitchen, widely considered the beating heart of Sicilian hospitality. Under the watchful eye of a professional chef, you will participate in a hands-on cooking workshop designed to teach you the ancestral secrets behind three iconic dishes of the territory. You will master the preparation of two major pillars of local culinary tradition: crafting authentic fresh pasta from scratch and preparing a classic, flavorful Sicilian caponata.

The experience culminates in a rewarding sit-down lunch featuring the very dishes you have prepared, expertly paired with premium estate wines by a certified sommelier. The gastronomic journey begins with a pour of Santa Tresa Il Grillo Spumante, a sparkling white wine defined by citrus notes and lively bubbles that perfectly cleanse the palate alongside a caponata bruschettone. The main course of fresh handmade pasta with sauce is paired divinely with Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. As Sicily’s only DOCG designated wine, this harmonious blend features Frappato to bring vibrant scents of cherry and red fruits, alongside Nero d’Avola to provide excellent body and structure.

More than just a standard cooking demonstration, this lunch provides a lively space for an exchange of stories, laughter, and captivating anecdotes detailing the history of the estate. With a strict limit of just eight participants per session, this premium culinary masterclass includes your chef workshop, sommelier wine flight, a full lunch, water, and fresh coffee, offering an unforgettable and deeply authentic taste of Sicilian life.
