Chocolate Tasting and Typical Liqueurs in Laconi

A sensory journey through Sardinia's wild aromatic plants, artisan chocolates and traditional herb liqueurs


In the mountain village of Laconi in the Oristano area, this Sardinian chocolate and liqueur tasting experience invites you into the world of indigenous aromatic plants that define the island's culinary identity. Led by Rosa, the company's founder and producer, you will explore the scents and flavours that have shaped Sardinian tradition for centuries. The experience runs all year round, with tasting offerings adapting to the season.

Sardinia's interior highlands shelter an extraordinary variety of wild plants, from mountain thyme and wild fennel to myrtle, juniper and helichrysum. During this experience, you will learn to identify each plant by scent and discover how they are harvested, processed and transformed into distinctive local products. Rosa shares the production philosophy that balances innovative techniques with deep respect for age-old Sardinian customs.

At the heart of the visit is a guided tasting session where six herb liqueurs and, between October and May, a selection of artisan chocolates are served. The chocolates range from milk chocolate truffles filled with myrtle or thyme liqueur to dark chocolate bars with puffed rice and cherry-spirit fillings. Participants who prefer alcohol-free options will be served a house-made herbal tea and, in the cooler season, liquor-free chocolates.

At the end of the experience, visitors have the opportunity to purchase products on site, taking home a genuine taste of Sardinia's mountain landscape. The farm setting and hands-on sensory format make this a distinctive alternative to standard food tours on the island.
