Wheat in Sicily: a field to fork experience at Dara Guccione Biofarm
with Valentina and Giovanni
Sicily has been the breadbasket of the Mediterranean since ancient times and wheat has played a key role in the history and gastronomy of the island. At the Dara Guccione Biofarm, surrounded by ancient olive groves and endless wheat fields, we will learn more about Sicilian grains, their rich biodiversity and qualities.
From the land we will then move to the kitchen where we will experiment with different flours produced at the farm, some of them obtained from wheat cultivated at 700 m / 2,296 ft. A pizza party will follow! We will make the dough with some of the indigenous variety of wheat and then cook the pizza in a wood-fired oven.

Brother and sister team Valentina and Giovanni Guccione take care of their family farm, DARA GUCCIONE BIOFARM, handed down through generations since the eighteenth century. It was Valentina who, moved by the desire to share the charm of this estate, created a unique rural hospitality system. Her offerings have nature at their core and are perfectly integrated with the farm that her brother Giovanni runs.
