A Volcanic Wine Adventure in Castiglione di Sicilia
One of the most amazing experiences you can enjoy in Sicily is wine tasting where you can immerse yourself in true Sicilian hospitality. The wine industry in Sicily has been going through a period of rapid change over the past twenty years and the popularity and prestige of Sicilian wine is rapidly on the rise. Wine grapes have always grown on the island and mythology tells us that it was Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, who planted them there himself. The Mediterranean climate with abundant Sicilian sunshine, a balanced rainfall, mountainous terrain and volcanic soil made rich by Mount Etna's ash and lava all create the perfect conditions for growing quality grapes with a distinctive taste and there are many varieties across the island.
