The experience was superb. Patrizia was very welcoming and sweet. The wines were speectacular, the food and cheese were good. It was easy to find and the area was nice and right next to the cathedral. All in all a very good experience that I would highly recommend.

A relaxed, informative and interesting tasting of local Sicilian wines and cheeses. A passioned host and her charming son led us through three whites and three reds, as well as cheese and other local foods. We also managed to taste her own homemade limoncello which was excellent. The wines were all local varieties, subtle and light. Highly recommended!

Wow what a wonderful afternoon. We booked this activity as we were stopping in Palermo on our cruise and we were both so glad we did. Our hosts met us in a location which was easy to find and a few minutes walk from their town house. The wine and conversation flowed all afternoon interrupted only by the cheese a snacks prepared by out hosts. We would recommend this tour to anyone and the bonus is we got to take any unfinished bottles of wine we wanted away with us.
