Marsala: Florio Winery Tour with Food-Paired Wine Tastings – Sicily, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Immerse yourself in the scents and flavors of Marsala wine during a guided tour and tasting experience at the Florio Winery. Learn about the intricacies of the barrel cellars followed by a Marsala and Zibibbo wine tasting accompanied by light food pairings.

Upon arrival at the Florio Winery, start your tour with a visit to the wineries overlooking the sea. Just by walking among the barrel cellars, you’ll discover the history of Marsala wine and the winery that produces it.

The grapes used to produce Marsala grow along the coast of Western Sicily, and the wine’s goodness is fueled by the humid, brackish temperature. As you move away from the sea, the wine’s personality also varies.

Learn how the strategic location of the cellars is able to influence the essence of the wine. The cellars are precisely characterized by the presence of the tufa floor that allows the barrels to breathe in the smell of the sea.

Inside the cellars, discover four different climatic environments, each with a different relationship with the sea. At the end of your winery visit, taste two glasses of Marsala and one glass of Zibibbo accompanied by small food pairings.
