Meet your guide in the evening at Corso Umberto I, Taormina’s main pedestrian street, and set off to uncover the town’s culinary gems. As you walk, hear tales about the area’s culinary history and the evolution of Sicilian food culture. Discover the importance of fresh and flavorful ingredients to Sicilian cuisine, and hear how the cuisine’s popularity has spread across the globe.
Pass by beautiful old buildings, including the 15th-century Palazzo Corvaja and an ancient Roman theater. Then, meet a local chef, who will welcome you into an open garden space with a glass of prosecco. After you’ve drained your glass of bubbly, sit down to four different fish dishes. These will vary depending on what ingredients are available, but may typically include grilled octopus with saffron potatoes or mixed fried fish with crunchy vegetables. Wash them down with a glass of grillo white wine, an ancient variety native to Sicily.
Next, move on through Taormina’s historical city center to a family-owned wine bar. Settle in here to taste three local red wines, such as nero d’avola or Etna Rossa, and a selection of bruschetta, served with the protected Mount Etna DOP (Protected Denomination of Origin) olive oil and a range of toppings. There will also be another typical Sicilian appetizer, such as cold cut meat or cheese with honey, marmalade and caponata (eggplant relish).
After, follow your guide to a beloved dessert hot spot, where you’ll taste torrone (a honey and almond candy) and cannoli (pastry tubes filled with ricotta cream), as well as Limoncello, almond wine and a sweet and concentrated passito desert wine.
Your tour ends back at Corso Umberto I.
