Experience Details

The journey begins at the iconic Bar Cristina in Piazza Pancali, Syracuse, where you'll delve into the art of crafting an authentic Sicilian breakfast.

From there, the exploration takes you to the ancient market of Ortigia, a treasure trove of Sicilian flavors. Under Chef Ettore's expert guidance, you'll not only discover the rich array of typical products from the Sicilian land and sea but also learn the art of choosing and savoring them.


Having selected the finest ingredients, the experience culminates in a hands-on cooking class at a distinguished restaurant. Chef Ettore will lead you through the preparation of a delectable 4-course meal, perfectly paired with a selection of native wines, water, fortified wine, and accompanied by bread, coffee, and tea—all included in the price.
