Mobile ticket

I’m Simonetta Bazzu and Battista, the village where my ancestors were born, is over 200 years old.

Here i will guide you on a journey back in time.

This experience takes place in a typical north Sardinian house, a traditional building in the countryside with granite stone walls and a cane roof.

It’s my great-grandparents house.

Here, I’ll reveal the three main secrets to a long, healthy Sardinian life:

PASTA

In my great-grandmother kitchen - 150 years old - you'll mix semolina and water to create ancient pasta shapes on a table carved from a centuries-old tree.

As we cook, I’ll share stories and traditions that nourish both body and mind.

WINE

You'll visit a small artisan winery, explore winemaking tools, learn about Sardinian vineyards, and taste the wine of eternal youth.

FOOD

We’ll end with a typical Sardinian meal (lunch or dinner), featuring pasta you made, local cheeses, garden vegetables, fresh bread, desserts, and more — all organic, all authentic.

It was a great hands on learning experience. We really felt like we left with a piece of Sardinia culture to bring home with U.S. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting.

This experience was beyond incredible. The setting is in a charming Sardinian farmhouse which is styled so beautifully like a dream. We made semolina pasta dough and then learned how to make four different pastas which were cooked and prepared in different sauces with homegrown organic vegetables and served with local wine. The lunch was absolutely delicious. Each dish was phenomenal. The host was generous and gave a genuine sense of care for her guests. We look forward to making pasta with our families at home.

I absolutely loved our time with Simonetta. She’s so genuine and full of knowledge, and she really brought Sardinian life to life for us. She shared why Sardinians live so long — keeping family at the center, eating fresh local food, sipping homemade wine, and finding joy in the little everyday things. It was inspiring and made me want to bring a bit of that magic home with me.

Simonetta was an incredible host — knowledgeable, passionate, and graceful. The whole group had a ton of fun making the pasta *and* learning about the history of pasta, of Simonetta, and of her little ancestral village. This experience comes incredibly highly rated, you should go out of your way to go here.

What a great time. We were a total of 10 strangers but left as friends. We learned to make all different types of pasta….and then we ate it.
