About this experience
Dive into the culinary culture of the Sicani Mountains with our 'Cooking Lesson in Cammarata' tour. This unique experience begins with a walk in the picturesque historic center of Cammarata, where we will visit local greengrocers to buy the raw materials for our lesson. As we walk through the medieval alleys, we will discover corners of past times and hidden treasures. Then, we will put on the 'fadali' (apron) and, under the expert guidance of the chef, we will get our hands in the dough. The menu will vary depending on the season, but one thing is certain: we will create something exceptional. While we cook, we will have the opportunity to taste local delicacies and sip a good glass of wine.
