Agrigento
Dear Cristina,
our holiday with you and Travel Sicilia has been one of the happiest and most rewarding experiences of our lives. In the nearly 3 weeks in which we travelled around your unique island we were introduced to a wealth of experiences and your intimate knowledge of all aspects of Sicily enriched our enjoyment at every stage of the journey. Each day brought new and exciting experiences; we achieved so much and yet we never felt rushed. We also appreciated the flexibility to include unscheduled visit. We have been privileged to have had you knowledge and guidance as we admired the treasured legacy of Greek, Arab and Norman civilizations.
We have been impressed by the interesting and varied accommodation, each having its own charme from the elegant villa permeated with the atmosphere of bygone times to a jewel oasis in an olive grove; then there was the surprising roof garden in the ancient Ragusa Ibla and our last night in the luxury of the Grand Hotel Wagner in Palermo,
You have introduced us to a wealth of Sicilian food in authentic locations. So many new experiences: delicious seafood, the intense flavor of the fruits and vegetables grown in this fertile land and introducing to plants and trees previously known only by name; Carobs, Pomegranate, caper bush.
I thank you for all your patience and help as I tried to gain confidence in speaking Italian. It has given me fresh impetus to master the language.
This holiday with you, Cristina, has exceeded all our expectations. We will recommend your company without reservation to anyone wishing to travel to Sicily and as I return have my thoughts turn to when we can return. There are always new discoveries to be made with you and Travel Sicilia in your enchanting island.
With our thanks and best wishes. Until we meet again.
Sylvia W.

Wine and Food tours

Taormina
Wine and Food Tour
Sicilian cuisine is as diverse as the island’s art, history, culture and traditions, ranging from the simplest dish of pasta with wild mountain greens or freshly-gathered herbs, to lavish dishes of aristocratic origin such as farsumagru, where beefsteak is wrapped around a stuffing of minced beef, cheese, pork fat, ham, hard boiled eggs, peas and herbs and braised in wine spiked with a salty, concentrated sundried tomato paste. Sicily’s numerous invaders, too, left their mark on Sicilian food: the Arab influence is particularly marked in the west, where you will find dishes like couscous, that of the Spanish in the Baroque southwest, where chocolate is still made according to Aztec recipes.
Travel Sicilia will give you a chance to discover dishes from all regions and all classes of society: from the simplest peasant dish to the most lavish aristocratic creation, as well as the opportunity to explore the many and varied delights of Sicilian streetfood. We will take you off the beaten track, to mountain villages where you can sample biscuits made of hazelnut flour, hams from the meat of rare black pigs, and pungent cheeses made of sheep and goat milk cheeses. We will also invite you to refined lunches and dinners in grand baronial houses, where the gastronomic tradition of the Sicilian ‘monzu’ (a corruption of the French monsieur) is alive and well.
We can also organise cooking lessons with some of the most famous chefs in Sicily.We will also take you to winetastings at some of the region’s finest and most innovative vineyards.
