Food Experience at our Farm in Noto Hills

About this tour

Spend three and a half hours at a working Sicilian farm in Noto Hills learning how three generations grow olives, almonds, citrus, and carobs. You'll taste dishes built from what's harvested on the property—olive oil pressed on-site, bread baked fresh, jams made from their own fruit—and drink their wine. It's a straightforward look at where Mediterranean food actually comes from, run by people who've been doing this for decades.

Highlights

• Taste freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil from their trees
• Sample bread, jams, and sauces made daily on the farm
• Walk through working groves of almonds, citrus, and carobs
• Sit down to a menu built entirely from farm production
• Try locally produced wine and homemade spirits
• Learn olive oil and fruit production methods directly from farmers

What to expect

You'll arrive at an active farm, not a restaurant. Expect to see the actual work—trees, equipment, storage. The tasting menu showcases what they produce: their oil on bread, their tomato sauce, their jams. Wines and spirits come from their own vineyard and distillery. It's low-key and practical rather than formal. You're eating with people who grow your food, which changes how it tastes. The pace is unhurried; three and a half hours gives you time to eat, ask questions, and understand the cycle of what you're tasting.
