Discover the sweetness of the season!
Join us for a cozy, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make delicious fig jam from fresh, ripe figs!

Duration: ~4 hours
Location: Villa Arcadia, Corvera-Murcia

We’ll cover the whole process – from preparing the fruit to cooking, flavoring, and safely jarring your own homemade preserve.

No prior experience needed – just bring your love of good food!

You’ll go home with 3 jars (totally 500g) of your own jam and the skills to make more.

Welcome to Villa Arcadia!

We’ll head into the fig orchard to hand-pick ripe figs fresh from the tree.
We’ll also sort and prepare them for cooking – washing, trimming and choosing the best ones for jam.

Once the jam is ready, we’ll fill the jars and seal them.
You’ll also get to design your own label – feel free to add your name or a creative touch!
