      About this trip

      Delight in hands-on cooking classes, wine tastings of Sicily’s outstanding vintages, and interaction with locals. You’ll learn time-tested recipes of traditional Sicilian dishes while relishing the beauty and enchantment of central and western Sicily’s UNESCO sites and hidden communities. We’ll savor moments in Palermo’s vibrant markets, among the trees at an organic olive farm, with singing sheep at a family-run dairy (mmm… fresh ricotta!), and by getting our hands in the dough with home-schooled mammas and trained chefs. Co-hosted by chef Antonino Elia of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you’ll be entertained while having the peace of mind that we’ve taken care of all the details.

      We had a fantastic time in Sicily! What a great place to visit, the people were great, the food was great, the sites and attractions were all great as well. Thanks for everything you all did for us, the drivers, and the tour guides were exceptional.

      Excellent niche trip with great experiences, locations, amazing food and fantastic travel companions. Allison took on all of the hard work managing the transportation and events while allowing us time to explore on our own. This allowed us to have a stress free and fun time in Sicily. We highly recommend this tour!
