Breakfast at the hotel.

By private transfer, the group will travel to a local Monte Poro winery: Casa Comerci. Here you will, of course, taste the delicious local wine while learning about its cultivation and production.

The secret behind Casa Comerci is that, not only do they make some of our favorite Calabrian wine, they also cook some of the best food we’ve ever eaten! You’ll have a chance to try it for yourself with a big lunch together.

Return to Tropea, with some free time to digest. Don’t wander too far, though! In the evening, you’ll be taken on a sunset boat tour to see the stunning Costa Degli Dei: The Coast of the Gods from the sea.

Return to the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel.

This is personally our favorite day, because we get to meet you in person! You’ll travel by private transfer to Eva’s hometown of Dasà where she will teach you how to make fresh homemade pasta.

After a brief walking tour of the village, we’ll reconvene for lunch so that we can eat the delicious pasta we made together! Eva’s family and friends will cook and prepare a host of southern specialties they’re eager to share, such as fried zucchini flowers, ‘nduja, ragù, Mamma Rosa’s meatballs and eggplants, local cheeses and salami, “nacatole,” almond cookies, and more!

Return to the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel and departure by private bus to Sila.

Sila is a wild, wooded, and mountainous region in central Calabria. The area is steeped with history and untouched culture, and is home to the great Sila National Park. On the way, you’ll stop at a beautiful mountain winery for lunch (and a wine tasting, of course!)

After settling into the accommodations at the historic Torre Camigliati estate, the group will visit La Nave della Sila, or “The Ship of Sila,” Museum, where visitors can learn about Calabrian emigrants who left for the United States and Canada in search of a better future. A local expert will tell the story of the deep bond between Calabrian and North American communities.

The day ends with dinner in a local restaurant, where you can try dishes based on regional ingredients such as porcini mushrooms, chili peppers and Calabrian cheeses, which reflect the culinary soul of Sila.

After a breakfast of organic and seasonal products, it's time to explore the Giants of Sila, a forest of centuries-old larch pines included in the Great Trees of Italy.

This day of immersion in nature celebrates eco-sustainability, with an expert guide who will explain the importance of protecting the biodiversity of the Sila National Park. Along the way, you will discover the ecological initiatives underway to preserve the local fauna and flora. A lunch will be served with grilled local and organic meat.

In the evening, the group will visit a local taverna to sample traditional Calabrian mountain cuisine.

After breakfast at the hotel, the group will participate in a unique experience at an organic farm, where you will learn the ancient technique of producing ricotta and other local cheeses. This immersive cooking class allows you to experience the culinary traditions of Sila up close and prepare typical dishes with fresh ingredients.

After enjoying a lunch with organic and freshly made products, you can enjoy a relaxing boat ride on Lake Arvo in Lorica.

For dinner, you will visit a local restaurant and brewery, where you will not only enjoy a delicious meal but also sample some of the local Calabrian beer!

Breakfast at the hotel.

For those who don’t want to leave home empty handed, the local produce markets of Camigliatello Silano are a short walk away! Here you can find eco-friendly souvenirs and local products, such as ‘nduja, caciocavallo cheese, and the famous Calabrian licorice liqueurs.

Private transfer to travel hubs for return journeys. Arrivederci!
