"Our Tour will have 8 nights in this beautiful Island and you'll leave having fallen in love with the Sicilians , their cuisine and the superb wines"
Let come with us to discover the "sweetness" of Sicily .
Sicilians like to say their grapevines sprang up in ancient times from the teardrops of the thirsty God Dionysus.
Less - poetic archaeologists confirm , at least , that Sicily was one of Italy 's earliest wine growing regions- today making 15% of all Italian wine.
For years , Sicilian wines were synonymous with Marsala , a sweet wine often served with dessert or used for cooking . But recently some international 's top wine experts have rediscovered Sicily and what they've found are good , great wines like nothing anywhere else.
In this tour , you'll discover small unknown producers , meet top vinemakers , owners of country inns and be invited into their homes.
On this vacation you'll enjoy lunches , or dinners and large tastings as guests of the estates.
The kind of thing that is not possible if you are travelling alone in the country , even if you visit the same places.
Our wine tastings doesn't take up all the time, travel itinerary is well balanced with free time and visits to places of interest
