Kick-start your day by rolling up your sleeves for a cheese-making masterclass. Under the watchful eyes and expert guidance of skilled artisans, you'll craft your own Pecorino cheese.

Your authentic Calabrian experience takes place in a working farm, so be ready for rustic surroundings and truly geniune farm produce - it's a simple set up but gives you an insight into local specialities.

Every bite tells a story of Calabria's culinary heritage, making this more than just a meal - it's a feast for the senses. After a day of nurturing your foodie skills and gastronomic curiosity, we'll return to base, leaving behind the traditions of Agriturismo Caridà but taking with us unforgettable memories of our Calabrian culinary adventure.

    Interesting to see real local farm life in action, to learn of traditional methods and have a good laugh trying it ourselves. The host and staff were excellent as was our guide and driver. Food and wine excellent. Option to buy cheese etc but not pushy. The only very minor negative thing was that we didn’t finish picking up all other guests on the way until 1 hr 40 mins into the journey, then had further to go. So for them, a nice short hop into the countryside, for us a little bit long.

    Cheese and pasta making implies that the participants would be making cheese and pasta- Wrong, pasta was pre-made so be didn’t even get to learn how to make it, we simply rolled it and made shapes, cheese making was just a demonstration we categorically did Not make any cheese! Advised to wear sensible closed shoes as the floor of the dairy can be subject to flowing water, did we go anywhere near a dairy No!!!!

    This tour was great, the group was a fair size so every could hear and see what was going on. The farm is really pretty inside and the kitchen is pristine. Really enjoyed making the pasta, it was good fun. Then you eat the pasta you made on a lovely tomatoey sauce. Accompanied by so many cheeses and meats, practically unlimited wine and a coffee to finish. So much food and wine for your money. Really impressed! Definitely recommend.
