Gozo Shepherd Experience

During the ‘Experience a day as a local shepherd' tour you will step into a peaceful world of the local Gozitan who lives his life as a shepherd and produces traditional cheese. During this activity you will see how the farmer and his herd live their tranquil life in the countryside of Gozo, Malta. What makes this activity so interesting and enjoyable is the fact that one will be actively participating in feeding and milking the sheep and making traditional Gozitan cheese. During this day you will also enjoy an authentic lunch with local products and a traditional Gozitan dish and home made wine. This tour ensures an unforgettable experience.
