What to expect
You'll be collected from your Palermo hotel and driven to the atmospheric Baglio, a 19th-century winery building where you'll meet your guide. Expect a leisurely two-hour exploration of the vineyard and cellars, with detailed commentary on each wine's character and the estate's heritage. The tasting unfolds at a relaxed pace—sipping each wine alongside carefully chosen bites: crispy panelle, fresh salmon croissant, sfincionello (Sicilian pizza), arancina, and a concluding almond-chocolate treat. There's no rushed tasting-room shuffle; this is a seated, conversational affair.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant. Children aged 6–17 receive Sicilian street food tastings instead of wine. All fitness levels welcome. Transport is comfortable and direct; allow three hours total, including travel time from central Palermo.
