Six Things You Won't Stop Talking About
This trip is stacked. Here's just a taste of what's waiting for you in Sicily.
A Small-Group Food & Culture Trip
14 days of extraordinary food, breathtaking scenery, and one hell of a host. Brooklyn chef and food writer Farideh Sadeghin.
October 5 – 18, 2027
You're not just visiting Sicily. You're eating, drinking, and living it with someone who has spent her entire career obsessing over food and the people who make it.
Street food in Palermo, fresh capers on Salina, granita for breakfast, vineyard wines in Marsala. Sicily's food scene is unmatched. Traveling with Farideh means experiencing it through the eyes of someone who's spent her life obsessing over food.
Ancient Greek temples, medieval cathedrals, salt flats, volcano craters, island ferry rides. Sicily is 3,000 years of history packed into one gorgeous, sun-soaked island.
Farideh Sadeghin is the former Test Kitchen Director at SAVEUR, author of The Hot Dog Cookbook, and the person who dreamed up this trip. She's along for the ride, eating, exploring, and making every day more fun.

"Sicily is the kind of place where every meal feels like it was made just for you. I've been wanting to take people here for years." — Farideh Sadeghin
