The Journey
Taormina Wine Region
Discover the heart of Sicilian viticulture in the Taormina region, renowned for its sun-kissed vineyards and volcanic terroir. Indulge in the bold Nero d'Avola, spicy Cerasuolo di Vittoria, and the unique Etna reds, each telling a story of the land. Complement your tasting with artisanal Sicilian cold cuts and cheeses like Pecorino Siciliano and Caciocavallo, all while surrounded by the breathtaking views and lively atmosphere of Taormina.
Arancini Tasting
Experience the quintessential Sicilian street food: the arancino. These golden, crispy rice balls, originating from the 10th-century Arab rule, are filled with savory ragù, melted mozzarella, or tender peas. Crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside, each bite is a taste of Sicilian history and culinary innovation.
Focaccia Messinese Experience
Savor the authentic Focaccia Messinese, a culinary emblem of Messina. This soft, aromatic flatbread is generously topped with sun-ripened tomatoes, briny olives, and sweet onions, all infused with fragrant Sicilian herbs. Enjoy this warm, flavorful delight, a testament to traditional Sicilian baking techniques and local ingredients, offering a comforting and rustic taste of the island.
Cannoli and Granita Indulgence
Delight in the sweet finale of Sicilian cuisine with the iconic Cannolo Siciliano. This crisp, golden shell is filled with creamy ricotta cheese and adorned with pistachios, chocolate chips, or candied fruit. For a refreshing alternative, try a traditional granita, a semi-frozen dessert bursting with flavors like lemon, almond, or coffee. Whether creamy or icy, these desserts offer a taste of Sicily's rich culinary heritage, blending Arab, Norman, and Mediterranean influences into a delightful experience.
