Wine Route

7 days, 6 nights

“The Sicily of wine”
Excellence and sustainability.

A horseback riding trip in the Sicani Mountains with the theme of wine represents a truly special experience, where excellent hospitality combined with food and wine, uncontaminated nature and local culture create an evocative mix to fully appreciate the beauty and richness of this part of Sicily.

The starting point of our journey is the historic Tenuta Regaleali of the Tasca d’Almerita counts, one of the oldest wineries in the region, where we will immerse ourselves in the culture of wine, visiting the historic cellars, learning about the winemaking process, with a final tasting of some of their finest wines.

After a rich breakfast, we will begin our journey on horseback which will take us through breathtaking landscapes, among woods, hills and vineyards, enjoying spectacular views along the way.

Hosted every day by typical companies managed mainly by historic families where the exclusivity and authenticity of these places will make us better understand the daily life and traditions of the areas; Farmhouses, farms, cellars and even an Abbey of medieval origins!

The last stop at the end of the tour will be the Cantina Ulmo of the Planeta Company, another wine gem in the area, managed by the renowned family who still conducts hospitality today according to the canons of ancient traditions. Here, we will be able to explore their cellars and savor unique wines by pairing them with delicious Sicilian cuisine.
