What’s the plan?
*
What’s the plan? *
-
Your Sicilian journey begins with a drive from Palermo to Silvia’s peaceful olive farm, tucked among rolling hills and ancient trees. Settle into your home for the week with a drink in hand, and ease into the rhythm of the countryside over a light Sicilian dinner.
-
Start slow with a morning wander through the farm, guided by Silvia herself, followed by a tasting of her olive oil. The afternoon invites you to lounge by the pool and soak in the quiet. We’ll gather for a traditional Sunday meal — a leisurely feast shared with neighbors who may just drop by, Sicilian style.
-
This morning, dive into Sicily’s sweeter side with a hands-on biscotti-making class at the famed Torroneficio Giraci. After a casual bakery lunch, the afternoon is yours to rest and roam the farm. In the evening, Silvia welcomes us back to her kitchen for another home-cooked Sicilian dinner.
-
We spend the morning learning the art of cheesemaking from Salvatore, a former construction worker turned master artisan who revived ancient methods in his village. After a tasting of local specialties, rest up — because tonight we walk among the Valley of the Temples at sunset, before dining at a Slow Food restaurant blending Sicilian and Senegalese flavors.
-
Today is a rare treat: a full day at Forno Santa Rita, a family-run bakery in a village of just 12 people. Maurizio, the town’s spirited baker, shares his passion for reviving small-town life through bread. We return to the farm in the evening for a light supper under the Sicilian sky.
-
Sip your way through the Sicilian countryside with a visit to Tenute Lombardo for a winery tour and a leisurely tasting lunch. After a restful afternoon, we head out for dinner at a local legend — a pizzeria many call the best in all of Sicily.
-
Our final day takes us to the coast for a catamaran sail and a beachside seafood lunch. After a gelato stop on the way home, we’ll gather one last time for an arancine-making lesson — sending you home with full hearts and full stomachs.
-
After a leisurely breakfast, you’ll head back to Palermo.

We’ll get you from Palermo to the farm and back again at the end of the week. Transport throughout the week will be handled by us.

I promise you won’t be hungry! Almost all meals are included, except one dinner and one lunch.

Quite a bit of alcohol is included, including wine at the farm. If you’d like to purchase additional alcohol at the local winery or supermarket, we can help make this happen.

We’ll stay all 7-nights on Silvia’s olive farm in comfortable semi-attached apartments. Everyone will have their own bedroom, though you may have to share a common bathroom in the apartment.
