What to expect
Your guide meets you at the winery entrance and takes you into the cellar, showing barrel arrangements and ageing techniques specific to Marsala production. You'll see how fortified wines differ from table varieties in structure and process. Then you move to the tasting area, where seven glasses are poured in sequence. Each wine comes with locally-sourced snacks—cured meats, cheeses, breads—chosen to complement the particular wine's character. The whole thing runs at a relaxed pace; questions are welcomed.
Good to know
The winery sits near public transport links, so you needn't arrange a driver. Bring an appetite—the food pairings are generous. Allow 90 minutes total if you include pre-arrival setup and departure.
