Western Sicily and its amazing landscapes
The Sacred Rites of the Elymians and the Phoenicians’ trades.
This is a territory where the noblest of wines is produced, as well as one of the most precious salts in the world. This tour follows the track of the ancient ritual of the “tonnara” on the island of Favignana, where the traditional Tuna fish catch was performed, and the sunset over the “Saline”, the salt ponds: flavors and landscapes that will leave you breathless. We will come to know the sacredness of the Isle of Mothia, and the sacred rites of the maidservants of Venus in Erice; the majestic Temples of Selinunte and Marsala, where General Garibaldi’s expedition, known as “Spedizione dei Mille” landed to conquer Sicily and make the dream of making Italy as one Country come true. A fascinating, generous albeit harsh territory, capable of transferring real emotions. A journey flavored with the sweet and persistent zibibbo grape perfume.
