DIVINE SICILY CULINARY & WINE TOUR - SPRING 2010

April 17 - 26, 2010

The Farmhouse Table is pleased to announce our first Spring Tour. Elizabetta and I have been wanting to put together a spring itinerary for our wine lovers and foodie friends for some time. Sicily's countryside is filled with wild flowers at this time of year. It gives you a completely different perspective than the tourist summer season or our fall harvest trip. Temperatures are on the cool to mild side, and because it's "off season", it's less crowded so we'll be able to enjoy some of our favorite spots.

Flying into Catania, our adventure begins on the eastern side of the island near Mt. Etna. We'll stay on a working vineyard where we'll taste world-class wines and experience food culture harking back to the ancient Greeks. As we work our way across the island, we'll be staying on an olive estate, explore a town famous for its ceramics, and take as many "gelato breaks" as we need to! The road-trip ends on the western side of the island where we'll learn to cook some of the Arab-influenced specialties of the area, taste wines of that region, and explore some archeological sites. You'll be able to depart from the Palermo airport for your connecting flight. We look forward to traveling with you!
