1

Duomo di Taormina - Wine Tasting & Local Pairings
Begin your Sicilian adventure with a guided wine tasting. Sip world-class varietals like Nero d’Avola, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, and volcanic Etna reds, paired with artisanal cold cuts and cheeses such as Pecorino Siciliano and Caciocavallo. Surrounded by Taormina’s lively piazzas and colorful streets, this tasting sets the stage for Sicily’s bold flavors.
2

Ancient Theatre of Taormina - Arancini Delight
Next, enjoy Sicily’s most beloved street food: the arancino. Crispy on the outside and filled with savory ragù, gooey cheese, or tender peas, it’s a warm, flavorful bite of pure Sicilian comfort.

Villa Comunale – Focaccia Messinese
Savor the authentic Focaccia Messinese, topped with ripe tomatoes, briny olives, and sweet onions, all seasoned with fragrant local herbs. This traditional Sicilian bread is a showcase of the island’s rustic baking traditions.
4

Palazzo Corvaja - Sweet Sicilian Finale
End your tasting tour with Sicily’s iconic desserts. Indulge in a crisp Cannolo Siciliano filled with creamy ricotta and garnished with pistachios or chocolate chips, or opt for a refreshing granita in flavors like lemon, almond, or coffee. Either way, it’s a sweet finish that captures the essence of Sicilian indulgence.
