Italian-Style Olive Curing Workshop: BINDOON

Hands-on Sicilian olive curing with Concetta Sultan, co-author of Cugini in Cucina Cookbook, picking & curing olives in stunning Bindoon

🌿 Embark on a Sicilian Journey: The Art of Olive Curing in Bindoon, WA 🌿

Ciao! I’m so excited to invite you to join me for a full-length olive curing workshop in the breathtaking countryside of Bindoon, just over an hour from Perth.

This will be the first time I’m holding a workshop out here at Rosie's Cottage, this gorgeous rural property, under a big verandah elevated above the rolling hills, with rows of orange trees and incredible views all around.

We’ll be picking olives straight off the trees and learning the timeless Sicilian techniques that turn fresh olives into something extraordinary. PRESERVATIVE FREE!

This is a fun, hands-on learning workshop, you don't need any experience, and it's perfect for food lovers of all ages.

WHAT AWAITS YOU:

👨‍🍳 Culture & Heritage – I’ll guide you through every step, sharing not just the techniques, but the traditions behind Sicilian olive curing.

As co-author of the Cugini in Cucina Cookbook and a member of Slow Food Swan Valley, I’ll show you how Sicilian families have been preserving olives for generations.

🌳 A Connection to the Land – You’ll learn to select the perfect olives, discover the timing for harvest, and even get a taste of pruning artistry. It’s a chance to really feel the rhythm of nature and the sacred bond between land and table.

🎨 Hands-On Craftsmanship – Together we’ll explore a variety of olive styles and flavours. You’ll master time-honoured methods, ensuring every jar you take home is authentic and full of character, all without preservatives.

🍽️ A Feast for the Senses – Enjoy freshly cured olives (several types) paired with an abundance of delicious Sicilian food throughout the day, traditional treats, generous tastings, and a relaxed shared lunch, all accompanied by a glass of wine.

It’s all deliciously enjoyed overlooking the orange groves and rolling hills. This is more than a workshop; it’s a true celebration of food, land, tradition, and the joy of coming together.

SPECIAL LOCATION

We’ll gather on a beautiful rural property in Bindoon, a place I’ve fallen in love with for its sweeping views, rows of orange trees, and peaceful country charm.

You’ll have time to wander the grounds, soak in the fresh air, take in the stunning scenery, and simply slow down as we connect with the land, the olives we’re picking, and the timeless traditions of Sicilian olive curing.

This is your chance to immerse yourself in Sicilian tradition, savour incredible flavours, and make memories in one of the most beautiful spots in Bindoon at Rosie's Cottage.

Reserve your spot now, places are limited and this workshop fills quickly!
