SICILIAN ODYSSEY

Located on Sicily’s east coast, the Mediterranean to one side and Mount Etna on the other, Rocca delle Tre Contrade occupies a breathtaking locale. This October, Italian-Australian chef Stefano Manfredi will host a week-long culinary experience at the villa, with hands-on cooking sessions, excursions to local markets and outings to acclaimed vineyards. The magnificent estate boasts its own lemon grove, vegetable garden and infinity pool. This year’s event, from October 14 to 21, will mark Manfredi’s third time at the villa. Who better than the godfather of modern Italian cuisine in Australia to ignite your skills? thethinkingtraveller.com
