• Porta Messina - The tour guide will greet participants in the heart of Taormina, at the renowned Porta Messina Gate, a historic entryway to the ancient town. This marks the start of a cultural walking tour. As the group explores the rich tapestry of Taormina’s history, art, and local customs, there will be a stop to savor one of Sicily’s most famous street foods — the arancino. These delightful fried rice balls, filled with traditional ragù or local pistachio, are more than just a snack: they represent Sicilian culinary heritage, steeped in centuries of cultural blending.
• Corso Umberto - The journey continues through the picturesque alleys of Taormina, a town abundant in history, architecture, and Mediterranean charm. While enjoying panoramic views and elegant facades, the group will visit a family-owned wine bar with over 40 years of history. Known for its warm atmosphere and commitment to local flavors, this venue offers a tasting of three delectable bruschettas: one with eggplants and sun-dried tomatoes, another with mozzarella and cured ham, and a third with tuna, mayonnaise, and onion — each bite narrating the story of Sicily’s simple yet vibrant culinary culture.
• Corso Umberto - After a leisurely walk through Taormina’s ancient streets, illuminated by romantic evening lights, and passing by landmarks like Palazzo Corvaja and the Roman Theatre Odeon from the 2nd century, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for this hilltop town’s rich cultural heritage, shaped by Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman influences. The tour will then arrive at a traditional restaurant. Here, guests will enjoy an “antipasto” featuring locally produced organic cheeses, cured meats, prosciutto, dried tomatoes, and the signature dish, “Pasta alla Norma”, paired with local Sicilian wine.
• Corso Umberto - But save room for dessert! The final stop is Taormina’s finest pasticceria, a cherished local favorite, where guests will indulge in a classic Sicilian cannolo alla ricotta—crispy shell filled with sweet ricotta cream.
