    Silvia, our guide, was amazing! Her English was flawless! She explained the whole process of making Marsala wine, the 3 main kinds, and what to pair them with. We then sampled them. She answered all our questions about the purchase and shipping, too. A great time was had by all! Thank you!

    We did the Tour in English, and the information was great. We watched a video that explained the process, and then walked the Salt Mine and the information was explained again in the real setting. I can't think of many tours that offered this kind of experience.

    We had an amazing brunch and wine tasting at Donnafugata today. Our guide Roberta was a wonderful, knowledgeable and passionate guide who we enjoyed immensely. She shared her knowledge and the story of the winery in an entertaining and delightful way. The brunch was wonderful starting with bruschetta then a tasteful sandwich onto a pasta dish and finishing with cheese. Each course had its own beautiful wine which Roberta lead us through its aromatic notes and taste.

    For us it was a nice size wine brunch which we felt was probably the best deal we have ever had on a wine tasting. We are planning to visit one of their other wineries since we had such a great time.

    Thank you Roberta for the wonderful visit, Donnafugata is lucky to have you.

    A fascinating island with a good number of excavations to view. Very interesting museum with lots of significant artefacts.

    We had a 45 minute tour of the wine making facility and tufo cellar in the basement, followed by an excellent tasting of about 12 wines accompanied by local snacks. Really loved the oiled bread with herbs, the goat cheese, and orange blossom honey. Our guide, Sylvia took great care of us and also kept our young daughter entertained while we did the tasting. I particularly liked the vermouth, wine with almond aroma, and grape must. The moscato paired well with the dried grapes, and the wine with almond aroma paired well with the almond biscuits. 😋

    Excellent, informative English-language tour in a modern facility near the Marsala coastline. We were new to Marsalas and learned a lot. They have a nice collection of antique Sicilian carts as well. (In mapping apps, be sure to search for Pellegrino Ouverture rather than Cantine Pellegrino, which is the industrial part of the winery 1 block away.)

    One of the gates of the city, built in the 17th century, it is monumental and asking to be admired and photographed. And then you're through it. For those into architecture, it will be of great interest.

    Being Portuguese and a fan of our fortified wines (Porto and Madeira), I have been curious of their Sicilian cousin, the Marsala, for a long time. Unfortunately, I was never able to find it in Portugal so I couldn't miss it while in Sicily. Marco de Bartoli winery came in a few web searches as one of the finest produces of Marsala so I decide to go there for a visit. It was only me and my girlfriend but we we're still able to do the visit (something unthinkable in wineries elsewhere because they always require a bigger group). The visit itself was just marvelous, partially due to the excellent tour guide (which inexplicably I forgot to ask the name to mention on this review). She provided very detailed explanations and always replied to the thousand questions I asked. We visited the vineyards, saw the fermentation process still going on as the harvesting had taken place very recently, visited also the cellar where the aging process is ongoing and ended the visit with the tasting of 3 amazing wines (Vignaverde, Vecchio Samperi and Vigna la Miccia Marsala). Three amazing examples of the fantastic wine produced by Marco de Bartoli from which I would highlight the Vecchio Samperi as it reminded me a lot a semi-dry Madeira but without being fortified!

    In a nutshell, if you're visiting Sicily and are into wine, this visit is impossible to miss. Absolutely fantastic!

    Family member did this tour for us, without a reservation and it was very nice. He was passionate about his winery and took so much time with us to give us a great experience, he even gave us a gift wine to take home. So nice
