Food & Wine Tours & Trips in Sicily
The food tours in Sicily run for 7-8 days and really get you involved in the local cooking scene. Most tours start in Taormina, where you'll join local chefs for morning market visits before heading to cooking classes. You'll visit family wineries on Etna's slopes, where the volcanic soil gives the wines their special character. Our travelers often tell us that exploring Palermo's street food markets was their favorite part - trying local specialties like panelle, arancini and also fresh pastries while learning their stories. The tours include visits to traditional farms near Syracuse for olive oil tastings and organic lunch experiences. What makes these tours special is how they mix formal cooking lessons with casual local moments - one day you're mastering pasta techniques, the next you're talking with Marzamemi fishermen about their morning catch.

What people love about Food & Wine Tours in Sicily
- Sicily Food & Wine
Well planned tour. Tour leader Rosario was the best. He made the tour very, very special. So very professional, caring and expert. Highly recommend this tour.
- Charming Sicily Food & Wine Small Group Tour - 8 days
We had initially booked another tour through tourradar and were very disappointed on how they handled the changes they made to the tour that would have cheapened our experience and were not very accommodating. However, we finally were able to find a different tour and we enjoyed it very much. Essentially, everything met our expectations.

I traveled last month with my wife. The tour went great. all the arrangements were excellent. Excellent hotels where we stayed in Sicily. Driver very helpful and ready to give us information during the tour. Many culinary experiences and tastings that we enjoyed a lot to get to know the typical Sicilian cuisine. Highly recommended tour combining cultural visits and good food.
