Sicily Wine Tour

Sicily Wine Tour with Kerin O'Keefe

The Magic of Sicily

Sicily’s position in the center of the Mediterranean Sea has made the island a nexus of cultural exchange for millennia. This rich heritage is matched by an amazingly diverse and complex range of wines and gastronomy. On this wine tour, you will taste and drink the contributions of the different civilizations who have settled here for millennia.

Blessed with a varied range of terroirs, Sicily boasts some of the most distinctive grapes and wines of all of Italy. Old head-trained bush vines of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante grow at high altitude on the slopes of the impressive Etna volcano. In the northeast corner of Sicily, Faro and Mamertino, are considered among the region’s most noteworthy terroirs for fine wine. The southeast part of the island, famous for its unique Sicilian Baroque architecture, is the traditional home to Sicily’s flagship variety Nero d’Avola and Frappato. It’s time to discover this enchanting and wild place. There’s truly something for everyone in Sicily!
