Modica is a city to be tasted as much as visited. Along Corso Umberto I and through the alleys of the historic centre, artisan shops survive the test of time, preserving recipes, techniques and flavours passed down from generation to generation.
This tour is a journey through aromas and stories, where every shop has a tale to tell and every tasting is a piece of authentic Sicily.
The stops:
Modica Chocolate — the undisputed star. Cold-processed according to the ancient Aztec recipe, with no added fats and a uniquely grainy texture found nowhere else in the world. Visit one of the historic chocolate makers in the centre and discover how each bar is made.
Iblean Plateau Cheeses — Ragusano DOP is one of Sicily’s great cheeses, aged in the cellars of the area. A guided tasting through bold flavours and intense aromas.
Local Wines — local wineries produce wines from native grape varieties such as Nero d’Avola and Frappato, a direct expression of the Iblean terroir. A glass to better understand this land.
Preserves and Local Produce — citrus jams, seasoned olives, artisan pickles and much more: everything that grows in the Iblean countryside and ends up on Sicilian tables.
Tour available by reservation. Guide available in Italian and English. Duration: approximately 2 hours.
