Tour a historic Sicilian winery near Partinico, walk vineyards and olive groves, visit the cellar, and enjoy five appetizers with two local wines.
“We really enjoyed our Winery experience, the host was so nice and knowledgeable. Our only complaint wasn’t with the Winery, it was just getting there. That was the issue. We stayed in Palermo and the taxi ride out. There was over €100. To get a taxi back was almost impossible so we had to have the driver stay, so just be aware of transportation is an issue. The experience itself once you’re there top-notch can’t recommend it enough, not only is it a wonderful winery, but they have a beautiful array of animals so you get to see as well… Highly recommend recommended.”
