Truffle hunt and Bitter Liquor Tasting at Nepeta Liquor Factory in Sicily
Here is what's in store for you
Step into the enchanting world of truffle hunting and herb cultivation at Casa Nepeta for an unforgettable adventure! Led by our expert truffle hunter, Andrea, and his trusty lagotti Maya and Jeena, you'll venture into the nearby woods to unearth the prized treasures of the earth – from the delicate bianchetto to the esteemed black truffle. Spend a couple of hours immersed in nature, learning the art of truffle hunting and collecting these coveted tubers with your own hands. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that promises excitement and discovery at every turn.
After your truffle hunting expedition, unwind at our farmhouse and treat yourself to a well-deserved relaxation session. Sip on our exquisite Amari or indulge in an iced Nepeta Spritz while savoring the flavors of our typical products, enhanced by a generous grating of fresh truffle. Take the opportunity to purchase the truffles you've harvested at competitive prices, ensuring you can enjoy their exquisite taste long after your adventure ends.
But the experience doesn't stop there. Immerse yourself in our herb field, where we organically cultivate a variety of herbs native to the Hyblean area. Discover the secrets of Nepitella, used to create our Nepèta, Marjoram for our Majora, and Shrub Thyme for our Timous – a sugar-free Amaro bursting with flavor. Learn about the properties of these plants, pick them, inhale their fragrant aromas, and take a piece of Sicily's botanical wonders with you.
Enhance your experience with our tantalizing botanical cocktails, available for an additional cost, and indulge in the exquisite flavors crafted with care by our skilled mixologists.
Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Syracuse, 15 minutes from Noto, and Palazzolo Acreide, and about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Catania, Casa Nepeta offers a perfect retreat into nature's embrace. Your journey begins and ends with us, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience from start to finish.
