Local Connections: Cooking & Gardening with the Bonaiuto Family

Get a taste of Sicilian cuisine during six-hour excursion to Villa Trinità. Once covered by molten lava and ash today following the eruption of eruption in 1382, the area is now a thriving garden known for its large collection of palm trees, succulents, flowers, shrubs, exotic fruit trees and citrus grove. After a garden tour, head off to the restaurant owned by Salvatore Bonajuto and his wife Donna Maria for a cooking demonstration of time-honored Sicilian recipes. Then, you'll sit down for a delizioso meal accompanied by hearty Etna wine and lively conversation. At the end of the day, you'll board the coach with memories of your day and a recipe that you can share with friends and family upon your return home.
