We’re excited to welcome Studio Schmauss to Casa Lawa for our beloved Cherry Festival , happening 16–20 June 2026, when our cherry trees burst into bloom and CASA LAWA takes on a soft, fragrant glow.

Known for their playful, aesthetic approach to regional ingredients, Studio Schmauss brings the spirit of their Berlin-Kreuzberg culinary studio to Sicily for the first time. Their work — rooted in small-farm sourcing, creative technique, and warm hospitality — will guide our exploration of cherries at their seasonal peak.

Expect cherries in vivid, surprising expressions — fresh, preserved, cooked, and paired with herbs and the first sun-ripened produce of the season — all brought to life with the studio’s signature sense of curiosity and craft while the orchard blooms at its most magical time of the year.

Tickets are available to book your accommodation both at Casa Lawa and at our off-site location, only 20 minutes away.
