Interesting to see real local farm life in action, to learn of traditional methods and have a good laugh trying it ourselves. The host and staff were excellent as was our guide and driver. Food and wine excellent. Option to buy cheese etc but not pushy. The only very minor negative thing was that we didn’t finish picking up all other guests on the way until 1 hr 40 mins into the journey, then had further to go. So for them, a nice short hop into the countryside, for us a little bit long.
Agriturismo Caridà is a local dairy farm where tradition meets taste. This culinary trip offers you the opportunity to dive into the authentic charm of Calabrian traditions and get hands-on in the dairy. Kick-start your day by rolling up your sleeves for a cheese-making masterclass. Under the watchful eyes and expert guidance of skilled artisans, you'll craft your own Pecorino cheese.
Your authentic Calabrian experience takes place in a working farm, so be ready for rustic surroundings and truly geniune farm produce - it's a simple set up but gives you an insight into local specialities. And that's not all - while you are waiting for your cheese to be ready, you will try your hand at rolling your own handmade pasta with a demonstration from an expert chef.
After working up an appetite, it's time to sit down for a typical lunch featuring your handmade creations and a variety of locally sourced products. Every bite tells a story of Calabria's culinary heritage, making this more than just a meal - it's a feast for the senses. After a day of nurturing your foodie skills and gastronomic curiosity, we'll return to base, leaving behind the traditions of Agriturismo Caridà but taking with us unforgettable memories of our Calabrian culinary adventure.
