Cooking in Marsala

A professionally led cooking lesson taught by a local chef.

On the furthermost western point of the island, Marsala is known for its warm African winds and a long history of fortified winemaking.

This less touristic Sicilian town is home to heavy hitter wineries like Donnafugata, Marco de Bartoli, Vini Barraco and Cantine Florio. 

Guests are welcomed by our chef with a coffee before tying on aprons to start their special lesson in his family home in the heart of beautiful Marsala. 

Menus are based on family recipes, traditional Sicilian cuisine, and local specialties. Dishes are seasonal and may include couscous with seafood, fresh “busiate” pasta with pesto, or eggplant parmigiana. Lunch is paired with traditional Marsala, Catarratto, or Grillo wines.

    We reached out to Casa Mia Tours at the last minute the morning our ship docked in Sicily. Within a few hours they arranged a Sicilian cooking lesson and dinner for us. We had such a wonderful experience.
