Our introduction

All Italian regions produce wine and, of course, Sicily is one of the most beloved in the south of our peninsula. With a visionary vision, some wineries took the lead and presented a fantastic concept full of attractions: the wine resorts! Learn everything you need to know about Sicily clicking here!

But, after all: what is the definition of Wine Resort?

Wine resorts are usually old wineries that have been transformed into luxury hotels. It is not difficult for them to still have a working winery, and they often offer us different services in addition to accommodation. Services such as special restaurant, tastings, vineyard tours and other very interesting attractions make up some of the packages offered by several wine resorts.

Good to know…

Some hotels include a complimentary tasting, some don’t, so even if you don’t intend to stay at a wine resort but would like to visit, remember to ask for information about a tasting there, as they are usually open for the general public.

The same goes for the restaurants in these resorts: several of them open their doors to the public, however, some require reservations, so if you want to have dinner at a wine resort, check availability BEFORE your trip, ok?!

Golden Tips

When choosing your accommodation, confirm which services are included in the rate; this is because some hotels already include a tasting in the price of the room, for example, others do not, therefore: confirm all the services included BEFORE to go.
Remember that this type of accommodation does not have seasonality, so even if you travel during the low season: make your reservation in advance!
Check with the hotel if they offer a transfer service; if you want to go straight from the airport to the hotel, it’s good to know that some of them offer the service: some paid, others free. If you are interested in hiring a Private Transfer, click here and request a free quote!
For hotels that offer a restaurant in their structure, check if there is a need for a reservation, as some restaurants are also open to the public, that is, to non-guests. Ask at reception if reservations are needed for both lunch and dinner.
