Tour Overview
Embark on a luxurious multi-day journey through Sicily, where wine, food, and relaxation come together for an unforgettable experience. Explore five distinctive wine regions—Marsala, Sambuca di Sicilia, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Siracusa, and Etna—and visit towns such as Marsala, Agrigento, Modica, Ragusa, Noto, Siracusa, Catania, and Taormina, guided by expert local guides. Sicily, the largest of the Italian islands, is separated from the mainland and surrounded by the Ionian, Tyrrhenian, and Mediterranean Seas. Known as a pearl of Southern Italy, Sicily reveals its beauty through a variety of itineraries that showcase its wine, history, and traditions. The island's vibrant culture and warmth are reflected in its cuisine, which tells the story of the Sicilian passion for genuine flavors. Begin with an array of appetizers, from arancini (rice croquettes) to cazzilli and crispeddi. End your meals with Sicily’s famous pastries, often made with ricotta cheese and almond paste, which are not to be missed. Many Sicilian products are protected by DOP and IGT quality marks, underscoring their excellence. Sicily is central to the Mediterranean diet, known worldwide for the purity of its ingredients. Highlights include extra-virgin olive oil, Pachino tomatoes, Pantelleria capers, prickly pears, and the prized Nocellara del Belice olives. The island’s cheeses, sausages, and various types of crispy bread add to its culinary richness. Sicilian wine is exquisite—strong, full-bodied, and perfectly paired with its unparalleled cuisine. The region's vineyards produce wines that reflect the soul of Sicily, combining tradition with quality. Sicily also enchants with its archaeological treasures that tell the story of Trinacria, the island’s ancient name. Visitors seeking breathtaking landscapes can explore the protected reserves and natural parks around Mount Etna. The island boasts several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the archaeological area of Agrigento, a key city of Magna Graecia. The Valley of the Temples, surrounded by olive groves, almond trees, citrus orchards, and vineyards, is a must-see. Other highlights include the Late Baroque cities of the Noto Valley, the Necropolis of Pantalica in Syracuse, the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina, and the enchanting village of Taormina, where every corner captivates the eyes, spirit, and imagination. On our Sicily Angel Wine Experiences, an expert guide and sommelier will lead you through Sicily’s most fascinating sights. Enjoy VIP wine tastings in Marsala at premium and boutique estates, as well as in other renowned wine regions like Etna, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, and Sambuca di Sicilia.
