The region is home to some of the best wineries in Italy, and has earned the nickname the Tuscany of the South. H2N has an exclusive relationship with award-winning Sicilian wine producers, all of whose wines are certified organic. You will be able to experience and learn about the winemaking process, with its deep connection to the ancient Sicilian tradition. From growing and picking the grapes that ripen in vineyards sweeping down from the hills to the sea, observing the dedicated, meticulous art of turning the fruit into wine, to the best part, of course: tasting the results.

Our Partners grows three special olive varieties: Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla and Cerasuola. In groves where olives have been cultivated for generations, you can take part in the olive harvest, with the organic olives picked by hand and immediately taken to the mill in the middle of the grove. You will witness the traditional extraction techniques, before sampling the region’s “liquid gold”, dipping freshly-baked bread made with local cereals.

Our wellness sessions offer balm for the senses, and relaxation for your inner being. You can attain new levels of tranquillity and enhance mindfulness in a perfect setting with expert guidance in yoga and different types of meditation (tree-hugging included), or treat yourself to one of the many stress-relieving types of massage available.

“You are what you eat”, as the saying goes. Learn how to give your body the best nutrition, and hone your tastebuds with Sicily’s amazing flavours. From nearby Serra Ferdinandea, an area abundant in flora and fauna, comes pasta made with a unique Sicilian strain of durum wheat, unbeatable with wonderfully sweet tomatoes. Here, crops are grown biodynamically, involving principles from both ancient philosophies and modern science. Respect for nature means minimal intervention in the process, no chemicals, and working with cosmic and universal forces that are at play in the farming environment. We will also take you foraging for some of the best produce nature provides, from wild garlic, fennel and oregano to mushrooms, almonds and figs, while having the sea on our doorstep ensures a bountiful supply of the freshest fish and seafood. Our cooking classes will enable you to prepare delicious, healthy meals together, taking you “back to the land” with locally-sourced ingredients, to be enjoyed together under the stars.
