Our highlight in Calabria 💛

5.00The 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!

5.00My 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!
Super fun experience!

5.00Enzo 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.
Awesome time!

5.00We did the Sweet and Spicy tour with Enzo and it was fantastic. After picking us up at our hotel, we arrived at a family run Tropea sweet onion farm where Pasquale gave us a tour of the farm and facilities educating us about the history, farming and harvesting of Tropea's famous sweet onion. His wife Patrizia prepared a full spread of all the products made using the sweet onion - delicious - hard to pick a favorite! We visited her later that evening at her shop in town to make some purchases - see separate review of La Boutique Della Cipolla Rossa. Enzo then took us to a scenic park overlooking Capo Vaticano before bringing us to Livasi' Salumi for the spicy part of out tour. This establishment is run by the Porcelli family and produces Spilinga's famous spicy N'duja, among other meat products. The manager of the facility, Antonio, took us through the facility from the time the pork comes in to the packaging of the finished product ending with another generous spread that allowed us to sample all their products and even offered house wine - we visited the Livasi' retail store on town later than evening as well - see separate review. Enzo was amazing - in addition to the side trip to Capo Vaticano, he also took us to the church of the Madonna della Fontana and treated us to gelato at Dominique, where his friend Antea makes all the fresh gelato daily in a variety of delicious flavors! Enzo was amazing and I would highly recommend his tours!!!
Best Farm to Table we've ever done!!

5.00We have done many of these in Italy over the years, and this was truly the best Farm to Table ever! The drive out to the farm, with a stop to overlook Capo Vaticano, was beautiful and those views are spectacular! We really enjoyed our time with Enzo, being a local Tropean, but having spent time in Australia, his insight was super interesting and just very relaxed and fun to be with! This is not a cooking class (which we were fine with) just making pasta and ricotta filling for the manicotti. First we had a tour of the charming farm with more beautiful mountain views, then learned about their specialties - making pecorino and ricotta from their small herd of 200 sheep, and growing much of their produce. But sitting down to the most amazing antipasto plate of all - their home grown and made food - from fresh ricotta to njuda to marinated eggplant, zucchini, I can't remember name of chicory type vegetable, but it was so delicious, that delicious Tropean salad of tomatoes & their incredible sweet red onions, to two kinds of Pecorino, sausages, frittata, and wowza zeppele (sp?), home made Malvasa wine, and that setting, enjoying a meal with Enzo, was just fabulous. Our pasta came out next - we were a big heavy handed with the dough lol, so not the finest of pasta, but they made it much better with their incredible sauce, then teeny perfect manicotti, and finally, amara de Capo & local amaro (much better) to help to try to digest it all. Lovely drive home and went to bed VERY full and VERY happy! Thanks for everything, Enzo - it truly was an incredible, memorable and delicious evening with you!
