About this tour
Spend a full day at Fontana Murata, a sprawling 300-hectare Sicilian estate, learning to roll fresh pasta and craft cannoli using recipes passed down through generations. Work with ingredients grown on the farm itself—wheat, olives, tomatoes, grapes—whilst the owners share their family's four decades of agricultural heritage. You'll cook, eat together, and taste local wine in a working farmhouse that pioneered agritourism in western Sicily.
Highlights
- Hand-make pasta and cannoli from scratch using estate ingredients
- Tour 300 hectares of wheat, olive, vineyard and tomato cultivation

What to expect
You'll arrive at the farmhouse in the morning for coffee or tea and breakfast. After a walk through the working fields, you'll move into the kitchen to learn pasta-making by hand, following methods rooted in Sicilian tradition. The owners guide you through each step, explaining how local ingredients shape the food. Mid-morning you'll prepare cannoli, then sit down to a proper lunch featuring what you've cooked, paired with wine from the vineyard. The day is relaxed and hands-on—expect flour under your fingernails and genuine conversation, not a polished class.
