Visit to Casa Nepeta Distillery

On this visit to the Casa Nepeta Distillery, we will have a tasting of herbal spirits and you can participate in either a truffle hunting or botanical printing workshop.

Tour Options

During the booking process, you'll choose between the following options. Both start at Casa Nepeta, a 15-minute drive from Noto, and last between 2.5 to 3 hours:

Distillery Visit + Botanical Printing

Upon arrival at Casa Nepeta, we begin with a 2-hour botanical printing workshop. We will gather leaves and plants from the estate for our artwork. You will learn to use a chalcography press and manual contact printing techniques to create a small fabric tapestry or prints on paper, which you can keep.

Next, we will explore the organic aromatic herb fields, where we will discuss herbs used in the distillery's spirits. You can touch, smell, and take home some of these herbs.

Finally, the experience concludes with a tasting of herbal spirits, which can be paired with local products.

Schedule: Monday to Sunday at 9:30

Distillery Visit + Truffle Hunting

For this option, we will search for bianchetto and black truffles with a truffle expert and his dogs for 2 hours. You may purchase any truffles collected.

After the hunt, we will return to the distillery to taste one of the herbal spirits and the frozen Nepeta Spritz, a house special, along with local products with truffle shavings.

This experience ends with a visit to the aromatic herb fields.

Schedule: Monday to Sunday at 8 am.
