About this tour
Learn to make four Sicilian courses from scratch at Sea Villa Cefalù, where you'll work through pasta, sauce, vegetable dishes and dessert alongside a chef in a relaxed kitchen setting. Over five hours, you'll knead dough, shape pasta and plate dishes yourself, breaking midway for sparkling wine and appetisers. Afterwards, sit together to eat what you've cooked, paired with regional wines, and take home a PDF guide to repeat the recipes in your own kitchen.

What to expect
You'll meet other participants and tour the villa before heading to the kitchen for a hands-on session. The chef introduces each dish, then you move through preparations at your own speed, chopping vegetables, kneading dough and plating components yourself. Midway through, sparkling wine and nibbles appear. There's time to ask questions and understand the reasoning behind techniques. Once cooking wraps, you gather at a table to taste the finished courses with Sicilian whites or reds. The focus stays practical: ingredients and methods you can replicate at home, not restaurant theatre.
