Tucked in the heart of Sardinia, Arzana’s shopping tours showcase the best of traditional food culture. Two standout experiences get straight to the good stuff: a practical 3-hour tasting tour at a family farm lets you sample fresh cheeses, breads, and local wines, while the excellent 6-hour shepherd experience teaches hands-on milking and cheesemaking, capped with an authentic Sardinian lunch.
We love these tours because they’re personal, authentic, and support local farming families. The hosts are wonderfully generous with their knowledge, and you’ll leave understanding how real Sardinian food gets from farm to table.
