BETWEEN
HILLS & SEA
Our
wine tour will introduce you to the wineries and culture along the Western
side of Sicily. One of the most varied and productive areas on the
island, this region gives birth to almost half of all Sicilian wines.
We call this wine tour Between Hills & Sea because of the unique
characteristic of this Sicilian landscape - rolling vineyards and countryside,
embraced by the sea.
We will visit four wineries, each
with its own personality and technique. At each winery you will meet the
wine producers who will guide you through their wine making process.
You will learn about the inner workings of the winery as well as the culture
of the vineyard itself, bringing together the relationship between the
technology and nature of fine wine. A private wine tasting, served
with local Sicilian food, will close each visit. 
To keep you close to the experience of wine, we have arranged for
you stay in rustic and charming apartments located directly in the
vineyards of one of the finest wineries on the island. After each
visit, we will have the freedom to visit the most important and beautiful
natural sites in the surroundings, giving you a full taste for the
culture of the island.
As an example, one of the wineries lies close to the natural salt works
at Ettore et Infersa - the only salt works with working windmills.
We will see the Greek temple and amphitheatre of Segesta, as well as the
Cathedral of Cefalu. One day, we will pause in Palermo for a visit
of the city and the permanent exhibition of Sicilian wines, housed
in a beautiful historic building from the sixteenth century.
