What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the entrance and begin with a leisurely walk through working vineyards and landscaped gardens before settling at a tasting station. The winemaker will present each wine individually, describing its aromatics and flavour profile—expect to learn the backstory of local varietals like Catarratto and what makes Sicilian wines distinct. You'll taste, discuss and sip at your own pace whilst nibbling local cheeses and cured meats. The whole experience unfolds unhurried, without crowds.
