Join us on a journey to the scenic San Blas Valley, where we meet Mark, a passionate artisan crafting organic lemon and mandarin liqueurs from citrus trees over 50 years old. Discover the rich history of the valley, dating back to the Arab reign, and learn how Mark perfected his craft through years of experimentation. Watch as he shares his unique process, from harvesting fruit to creating his signature blends.
The adventure continues with a visit to a 130-year-old bakery in Xagħra for a taste of authentic Gozitan ftira. A celebration of Gozo’s flavours and traditions awaits!
