Guided tour to the rice fields
To roam through green rice fields, you don't have to travel all the way to Asia, not even to Italy: rice has also been grown in Ticino, and has been for centuries. Let a local guide take you to the fertile fields that lie at the foot of picturesque vineyards. There, rice is organically grown according to old traditions. The farm that you will visit is located in the immediate vicinity of the Foce della Maggia nature reserve.
Wine tasting - Own production Ticino wines
If you wish, you can complement your adventure tour and risotto cooking in a team with a wine tasting. You will taste five local wines in the wine cellar. Cheese from the Ticino Alps and local bread accompany the tasting. A unique pleasure, during which you will experience Ticino in all its richness of taste.
The original Ticino risotto
After you have learned a lot about rice and experienced first hand how it is grown, you will surely want to enjoy the local product. Together with your team you will prepare a fine risotto according to an original Ticino recipe. It is mixed with a large ladle and only the best Parmesan cheese is used. A fine dessert, of course also a Ticino speciality, rounds off your day with a sweet note.
