About this tour

Spend six hours learning to prepare authentic plates from scratch, then sit down to taste what you've made whilst hearing stories of how life unfolded here decades ago. The afternoon includes a walk through the settlement and around its dramatic coastal cliffs before heading back.

What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through rolling Sardinian landscape to reach Montresta, arriving at your hosts' home. The cooking session is hands-on: you'll chop, mix, and cook alongside people who've made these dishes their whole lives. They'll explain why each ingredient matters and how preparation methods have barely shifted in generations. After cooking, you'll sit together to eat, sharing the meal and conversation. The final hours are yours to wander the quiet village streets and scramble up to viewpoints above the sea.
