What you can expect

Departing from Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, or Porto, this private tour will take you on a journey to discover one of Sicily's most captivating itineraries, where the Baroque architecture of Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, meets the region's winemaking tradition.

Travelling through the Sicilian countryside, you will reach Noto, often referred to as the “stone garden” due to the harmony of its Baroque architecture. As you stroll along the famous Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the city's monumental heart, you will discover some of the most iconic sites in the historic center.

During your visit, you will admire Palazzo Nicolaci, famous for its balconies decorated with mythological figures carved in stone; Palazzo Ducezio, the town hall, with its impressive Hall of Mirrors and panoramic terrace overlooking the Cathedral; and the elegant Tina Di Lorenzo Theater, a historic 19th-century theater.

As this is a private tour, the experience can be tailored to your needs, allowing you to explore Noto with greater freedom, taking in its squares, elegant historic palazzos, and Baroque vistas.

The journey continues through the hills of the Noto countryside, a Mediterranean landscape of vineyards, olive groves, and citrus orchards that reflects Sicily’s agricultural heritage.

Here, you will visit a winery surrounded by nature, where tradition and innovation come together. You will be welcomed in a charming 18th-century baglio, the heart of the estate, and discover the journey of the wine from vineyard to bottle by visiting the vineyards, the winery, and the barrique cellar, where the wines age in oak barrels.

The experience concludes with a guided tasting of 6 wines, accompanied by Sicilia PGI extra-virgin olive oil and typical local products.

Azisa – Grillo Sicilia DOC
Azisa, from which the name Zisola is derived, means “splendid”: a white wine made from Grillo grapes.

Contrada Zisola – Catarratto Terre Siciliane I.G.T.
100% Catarratto, a historic Sicilian grape variety. Thanks to the estate's terroir and the alberello (head-trained) cultivation method, a fresh, balanced, and long-lived wine is produced.

Zisola – Noto Red Wine DOC
The new style of Nero d’Avola: grapes grown using the alberello training system near Noto, where the sea and the calcareous soils lend freshness and elegance to the wine.

Achilles – Syrah DOC Sicilia
A single-varietal Syrah that exudes great character thanks to the area's limestone soils and dry climate.

Effe Emme – Terre Siciliane I.G.T.
A single-varietal Petit Verdot created through the union of the Noto terroir and a renowned international grape variety. A unique wine, crafted with great precision.

Doppiozeta – Noto Red DOC
A Sicilian icon and a Nero d’Avola “cru” sourced from the estate’s finest plots. Produced using organic viticulture, natural fermentation, and no filtration.

Zisola Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Sicily IGP
This oil is made from the Moresca, Ogliarola Messinese, Nocellara Etnea, and Biancolilla cultivars, encapsulating the most authentic flavors of Sicily.

A journey through art, Mediterranean landscapes, and great wines to discover the most authentic soul of Sicily.
