Additional Information

With Arimani’s culinary and vinous experiences, I aim to unveil the secrets to long life in Sardinia by guiding you through three primary facets of Sardinian culture: lifestyle, wine, and food.

I will show you how to prepare the traditional pasta from my territory, as we share stories, feelings, impressions, and history. From doughs made with organic flours and semolina to the most diverse and age-old types of pasta, bread, and desserts, we’ll work with traditional tools. You will have a taste of the diet of the centenarians and savor the wine symbolizing everlasting youth.

Arimani’s experiences offer a journey back in time, a plunge into history in one of the world’s oldest lands. Sardinia isn’t just about the sea, spit-roasted suckling pig, and carasau bread. You’ll have a chance to explore some of the world’s most unique and scarce commodities. I eagerly await your visit to my world to experience life as Arimani, today, as in the past.

Amazing class that teaches a lot! - The pasta class was so much fun. Our host is such a lovely woman who can speak English very well. Any and all questions were answered, including recommendations on anything else in Sardinia as well. The food was absolutely delicious and I would love to do it all again.

Great event. We had a lot of fun. - A great experience. We were with 6 friends at Simonetta's, who looked after us very personally. Our pasta also tasted great, as did the wine from Simonetta's wine cellar. A very successful day, in a nice atmosphere and great surroundings. We had a lot of fun! Highly recommended :-)

Indescribable - This was a once in a lifetime afternoon with Simonetta. Everything from her beautiful home filled with her family history, to her exquisite pasta instruction, to an absolutely delicious lunch. Words can’t describe. My husband and I left filled her love of life. Thankyou Simonetta we will always remember this day ❤️

A great experience and highly recommended. - We booked the pasta course spontaneously and are still thrilled. It was a great experience. Simonetta welcomed us into a small Italian house. After a coffee with an Italian snack, which we ate outside on the terrace, Simonetta introduced us to the world of pasta. We were a mixed group of 7 people and made different pasta creations together. Afterwards we looked at the wine cellar and of course ate the pasta we had made together. The pasta course is highly recommended. Simonetta is a really great host😍
