About this tour
Master the art of Sicilian arancini in a hands-on three-hour class that breaks down the technique into manageable steps you'll confidently recreate at home. Your instructor guides you through shaping, filling, and frying these golden rice balls, then you sit down to taste what you've made alongside wine and coffee. You'll leave with printed recipes in English and a photo from the day.

What to expect
Arrive ready to work with your hands. Your host will demonstrate each stage—preparing the rice filling, forming the balls, and the frying process—then you'll take the lead while they supervise. Expect to make several arancini during the session. Halfway through or after you've finished cooking, you'll sit together for a proper tasting: eating the arancini you've made, with wine, water, and coffee on the table. The pace is unhurried and designed for beginners, so no prior cooking experience needed.
Good to know
The venue is on the third floor with no lift access, so you'll need to manage stairs. Bring an appetite. Infants in prams are welcome. Public transport is nearby if you need it. The recipes go home with you—a practical reference for recreating the dish.
