Full description Embark on a unique culinary adventure and become a chef for a day on this private day trip through the stunning countryside of Sicily's southeast coast. Departing from Siracusa, enjoy a scenic drive through vineyards, hills, and charming countryside towards the Noto valley. Discover an enchanting location, an ancient watermill nestled amidst picturesque streams, waterfalls, and serene lakes with captivating colors.

Under the guidance of our experienced chef, immerse yourself in the art of Sicilian cuisine as you create your own meal. Choose from a variety of authentic Sicilian recipes, carefully curated for your culinary exploration (options available upon request). As an additional option (at extra cost, to be requested at the time of booking), witness a fascinating cheese-making demonstration by a local farmer. From milk to delicious fresh cheeses like Ricotta, experience the intricate process in the rustic patio of the watermill—an unparalleled cheese-making demonstration in Sicily.

Delight in the breathtaking views of the falls and the soothing sounds of the flowing streams in the background.

After lunch, our English-speaking driver will escort you to the magnificent Palazzolo Acreide, an ancient Greek town founded in 650 BC. Explore its remarkably preserved Greek theater and stroll through the downtown area, showcasing stunning Baroque-style architecture. Discover two churches recently designated as UNESCO heritage sites. Take leisurely walks through the old town, where you'll find numerous opportunities to indulge in refreshing drinks, ice cream, and traditional almond pastries from Sicily's rich culinary heritage.
