Road of wines

A
private and escorted tour of Sicily
"Fall in love with the Sicilians, their cuisine
and superb wines"
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.
In this tour , you'll discover small unknown producers ,
meet top vinemakers , owners of country inns and be invited
into their homes. You'll enjoy lunches or dinners and wine
tasting as guests of the estates. Wine tasting is well balanced
with free time and visits to places of interest
