Organized with Zoe-Ann Bartlett of Intentional Table, this extraordinary tour explored three distinct areas of Sicily to offer a rich and varied taste of the region’s food and wine culture. After traveling through such a historic melding of cultures, flavors and architecture, we will not soon forget this hauntingly beautiful island. A few of the sensory pleasures that we enjoyed:

Witnessed Sicily’s connection to exotic cultures from distant shores on private tours with tastings of various wines, breads, oils and seasonal products that meld tradition with innovation
Inhaled the fragrance of orange orchards in bloom under Etna’s smoking shadow
Strolled through Catania’s morning market with a local foodie archaeologist
Attended an exclusive cooking class with a locavore chef in the magical Baroque hilltop city of Ragusa
Gazed into the sparkling turquoise waters of a quaint tuna fishing village while meandering along the quays
Found a sense of place among Castelvetrano’s ancient olive trees during a private tasting lunch in the groves

It is always our goal for our guests to feel comfortable while away from home, so we selected beautiful accommodations to reflect the best of Sicily and offer a serene space from which to savor our experiences and relax.
