If you’re in Sicily for the first time and have no knowledge of Sicilian wines and cheeses, I recommend you take this as soon as possible. You get a nice quick overview of what to look for. The hostess is very charming, adorable and accommodating, so you probably get some good advices of where to go and where not to go in Palermo. Also, her homemade snacks and olive oil were absolutely delicious. This was most probably the best winetasting that we have experienced.

Full description

Don’t miss out on this wonderful tasting tour of the best typical Sicilian wines and cheeses inside a charming 16th century private home, just a few steps from the famous Arab market Vucciria. This 2-hour tour is ideal for those who do not have enough time to travel to one of the wineries, many of them far from the city of Palermo.

Inside a peaceful and relaxing home environment you can enjoy tasting original Sicilian wines, including Frappato, Nero d'Avola, Catarratto, Grillo, Anzonica (Insolia), and Grecanico. All wines will be happily combined with the best Sicilian cheeses, including Primo Sale, Caciocavallo fresco, Ricotta infornata, Canestrato, Vastedda del Belice, and Tuma persa.

Enjoy sampling the wines and cheese, served with good black bread from Castelvetrano or Monreale and a rich mixed salad. To finish off the cheese and wine tastings, you will be served original cassatelle (fried sweets) of San Vito lo Capo and the classical sweet wine Zibibbo.

We had one of the most enjoyable experiences of our trip with Patrizia! She was lovely and provided excellent wines, cheeses and homemade pesto for us to try. I highly recommend this event, which she shared with us in her lovely home. Definitely a must-do!
