Cooking Class in Ancient Watermill

What you can expect

This private day-trip with local tour guide will give our guest the opportunity to be a chef for one day, discovering some of the most genuine food gem of our land and enjoying an authentic experience in the beauty countryside of our east coast.

A sightseeing drive will lead you along the country side, the hills and the vineyards, towards the Noto valley, up to the meeting point.
A stop at a local grocery farm will let you enjoy the old times way of growing the food. You will go shopping with our guide, picking up the ingredients for your lunch. You will meet the butcher and the farmers, selling vegetables from their gardens and meat from their local breeding. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn how to distinguish the highest quality ingredients and taste local food and products.

Then, you’ll be transferred to our wonderful location, an ancient watermill, surrounded by streams, waterfalls and small lakes with breathtaking colors.
Led by the expertise of our Chef, you will start putting your hands on the ingredients to create your own meal, that can include a selection from the typical arancini (rice balls), home made fresh pasta, original sicilian meatballs and cannoli with ricotta cheese!
A selection of Sicilian wines completes the menu, and then you will enjoy eating your own food with all your classmates in the relaxing peace of the terrace, with the wonderful view of the falls and the smooth sound of the gurgling streams in the background. The friendly feeling of a small and intimate group of food lovers will make the experience unique.

And then you’ll get your Graduation Certificate!

After lunch, approximately at 3pm, our English speaking tour guide will take you to the amazing Palazzolo Acreide, an ancient greek town founded in 650 BC, with a perfectly preserved greek teater and a downtown built in Barocco style, with two of the churches that recently became UNESCO heritage.
