Sophie is headed back to Sardinia next May! Join her in May 2027 to explore the food and culture of this magical island.
Here’s Sophie to tell you more about it:
If you’ve been to Italy, you might have noticed that each region feels like a completely different country: each has its own unique history, cultural traditions, language, and (of course) recipes. Even after a lifetime here, I’m still amazed by how distinct they all feel. I could be in Rome one morning, take a 30-minute flight to Sardinia, and feel as if I’ve traveled to a completely different country. Because Sardinia, or Sardegna in Italian, is the second-largest island in Italy, it has managed to maintain a strong cultural identity and a sense of separation from mainland Italy.
For years, tourists mainly knew Sardinia for its stunning crystal-clear waters, and most visitors came to the island simply for a summer beach holiday. But beyond its postcard-worthy coastline lies an island with a distinctive soul, shaped by centuries of tradition. With its own language (Sardu), unique recipes, rare ingredients, and a deep connection to music, dance, and craftsmanship, Sardinia leaves a lasting impression on anyone who visits.
Over the years, my love for Sardinia has grown as I’ve explored more of its hidden treasures, venturing beyond the usual tourist paths. Now, I’m excited to share these off-the-beaten-track discoveries with you through a carefully crafted week-long journey designed to showcase the heart of Sardinian culture. We’ll explore both the central and southern parts of the island, diving deep into its culinary traditions while uncovering its rich history and local customs.
I hope you can join me for a week filled with authentic flavors, off-the-beaten-path experiences, and a genuine taste of Sardinian life. By the end of our journey, you’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of this remarkable island, but also a love for its people and their traditions. - Sophie
