This was such a beautiful and special experience! I can't recommend it highly enough!
Maria and the whole family were so warm and welcoming. As she was taking us on a tour of the property, her father kept interjecting to make sure she showed us his beautiful vegetable gardens of eggplants, tomatoes and zucchinis. He was so proud (justifiably!).
We did the Nero d'Avola vertical wine tasting. Maria and the sommelier explained every aspect of each wine, and we learned a ton! It was my understanding that each wine would be paired with "nibbles". We were presented with so much incredible food that it blew our minds (and stuffed our bellies). The one-day sun dried tomato from their garden was likely the best tomato I have ever tasted in my entire life.
Then, at the end, they presented us with a bottle of their 2021 vintage and filled it directly from the barrel (it's not actually getting bottled until December). Pepe signed it and wrote a sweet message on it that we will keep and cherish.
Thank you to the entire Camilleri Family for an...
Read moreUnbelievably great experience. Could not have asked for a better day. We're staying in central Agrigento and saw the valley of the temples yesterday so didn't know if an additional day's stay was worth it. It absolutely is. Come here for a day! We WhatsApped the number and got an instant reply. Tour and explanations in English unlike a number of places we contacted. We got driven to the vineyard, pick up 11am by the lovely Rosa Maria, and got given a private tour by the owner's son, Salvatore. I'm writing this review merry and content from the beautiful and peaceful vineyard 6 hours after we got picked up. I'm 9 glasses in and might have to cancel our pre made dinner reservation from all the food! We are a family of 3x vegetarians and 1x vegan and yet they accommodated for our dietary requirements so well! They are so incredibly friendly and accommodating. The vineyard and views are beautiful, food is tasty and wine (rosé, merlot and Nero blend) are sensational. Without a doubt - book in! We have had a...
Read moreTenuti Camilleri is truly a special and magical place! The building is an impressive, beautifully restored historic baglio (fortified vineyard/country estate), situated high on a hill overlooking the Sicilian countryside. The views are spectacular!
We spent a most enjoyable afternoon with the owner, Giuseppe Camilleri and his family and staff, touring the vineyards, learning how the wine is produced and, of course, tasting their fantastic wines! In between each variety, we were served a delicious assortment of antipasti typical of the area, prepared by Giuseppe’s wife Rosamaria. We were also served various fresh fruits grown on the estates. Giuseppe, his family and staff were extremely hospitable, knowledgeable, and entertaining.
This was truly an amazing experience for us. We highly recommend a visit Tenute Camilleri for a most memorable tour...
