Farm-to-table Food Experience
Description
The best way to experience Calabria is to slow down. Departing from Tropea, we will head to the countryside to appreciate an authentic gastronomic and cultural experience. It will start with an educational tour of the local farm, getting close to nature and animals Walking through the countryside and the veggies garden, we’ll learn about various aspects of botany, horticulture, and harvesting methods. We will familiarize ourselves with the milk and dairy production process of Pecorino del Monte Poro and Ricotta. During a traditional pasta-making class, we’ll discover the secrets and tips to make our own pasta meal. After the "hard job", we will enjoy a genuine dinner in a beautiful bucolic atmosphere, embracing the healthy benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Very good excursion man cow near the genuine Italy and got an experience with both food and get to taste self-produced food
Thank you so much. Regards. Enzo
Fantastic experience. Incredibly sweet and welcoming host and staff who did a virtue out of telling about the company and teaches us about good Italian craftsmanship.
Grazie Mille! All the best. Enzo
Great host!!!food was amazing deautiful area
Thanks a lot! All the best. Enzo
We had an incredible day with Enzo, firstly on a gelato making experience, followed by the farm to table experience. Everything was perfect. Enzo was an amazing guide and host. All the food and drink was just fantastic, we learnt so much and enjoyed every minute. Alessandro and Antonio were also brilliant and their restaurant and farm is a beautiful place to learn about local ingredients and cooking. Great value - worth every penny. We will be coming back for more one day for sure. Enzo is welcoming, friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. These experiences are not to be missed! Matt & Abi
Hi Matt and Abi! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You were fantastic guests, and your enthusiasm made the day even better for all of us. I can’t wait to welcome you back for another round of cooking (and eating!) in the future. Until next time, Enzo
Mamma Mia! This was a fantastic experience with so much more local authentic food and culture than we expected! I HIGHLY recommend this “tour” (but it’s not a tour- more like being invited by a new local friend to share the beauty of Tropea, its countryside, and gentle way of life). The value is tremendous but I would recommend this experience at twice the cost if you’re at all interested in exploring beyond “the walls.” Complimenti Enzo!!
Grazie mille, Patrizia, for such kind words! Reading this honestly made my day. The food, the culture, and the company...it was a blast sharing it all with you. You're welcome back anytime! A presto, Enzo
The trip with Enzo was one of the highlights of our holiday. He is a warm, well organized host and told us a lot about the regional culture, the products and the cuisine. We were picked up and felt in good hands from the start. Visiting Masseria and the Pasta course were a wonderful experience: relaxed, personal and with a very good mood. The meal together afterwards was incredibly delicious and showed how good and honest the cuisine of Calabria is. An enjoyable and highly recommended experience that brought us closer to Calabria. We would definitely book it again. Definitely something to remember!
Dear Laura, It is wonderful to hear that the trip with me was one of the highlights of your holiday and that you felt so well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you for your high recommendation and for saying you would book it again. Knowing that we helped bring Calabria a little closer to you and created a lasting memory is the best compliment we could receive! We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience soon! Arrivederci!
Beautiful evening in the company of people from all over the globe, Canada, USA, Sweden, Russia Italy, we were guided by a VERY PREPARED person and an expert in the subject, as well as nice as few, Calabria has illustrated it more than well.
Grazie di cuore Walter ed Isabella. Lusingato dalle vostre bellissime parole. Alla prossima avventura. Un caro saluto. Enzo
My girlfriend and I wanted to experience some true farm to table food on our trip to Calabria and this activity delivered! Enzo is a wonderful host and is very communicative prior to any activities with him. Alberto’s farm had some of the richest and most flavorful foods I’ve ever tasted. This is a great activity to join - is great for couples!
Thanks, Jeff! It was a pleasure having you both and I hope you made some amazing memories during your trip to Calabria. Take care. Enzo
Such an incredible experience. Enzo is such a great guide and host. Making pasta was so much fun. The farm was beautiful, the food was incredible and we just had such a fantastic time. Highly recommend booking!
Ciao Robin! Grazie mille. I agree: it was an incredible night! All the best. Enzo
Enzo picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the farm where we joined 4 other Canadians on vacation in Tropea. He provided a wealth of information about the local history, geography, farming and the slow food movement. His passion for the region overflows. The Masseria produces pecorino which we used to dress the Fileja and ricotta which we used to make the canoli. It was a relaxed and fun way to spend an evening in the hills with the Sila and Aspromonte mountains visible in the distance.
Thanks so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure to have you and the rest of the group. I love sharing my passion for this beautiful region, and it's always a treat to see our guests enjoy the fresh, local food we're so proud of. I hope you had a fantastic time in Tropea. Maybe our paths will cross again on your next trip to Calabria (San Giovanni in Fiore?!?) All the best Enzo
