Patrizia is a most gracious and delightful hostess. She was so helpful in arranging transportation to and from the meeting point, which was much appreciated on such a hot day! We learned a lot about wines , grapes and cheeses of Sicily. Our time spent together was priceless - good food, great wines, lively conversation and lots of laughter . What more could we ask for?! I thought no we have found a new friend and plan to return sooner than later to enjoy more time with Patrizia! Mille Grazie!!

This ended up being a private wine & cheese tasting for my husband and me. Outstanding!! Patrizia is knowledgeable, welcoming and has a great sense of humor. We learned a lot; smiled a lot; and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with a few free hours in Palermo!!

Delightful location in central Palermo and our splendid host Patrizia was both knowledgeable and absolutely charming. She introduced us to a range of very pleasant and fascinating Sicilian wines along with a number of delicious local cheeses. We had a wonderful time and also learnt a great deal. Her home made snacks and deserts were absolutely mouth watering.
