The intimate cooking classes of Marsala offer travelers a genuine slice of Sicilian life. Two standout options connect visitors with local families: a comprehensive 5-hour market-to-table experience and a focused 3-hour cooking workshop. Both teach essential regional recipes in authentic home kitchens.
We especially love the market tour option – you’ll walk through Marsala’s bustling streets, selecting fresh ingredients before transforming them into classic dishes. The shorter class is perfect for time-conscious travelers who still want to master the basics of Sicilian cooking.
These small-group sessions accommodate dietary restrictions and can be scheduled around your itinerary. All include hands-on instruction for antipasti, fresh pasta, and traditional sweets.
