Wine & Cheese is a tasting for those who want to approach the world of regional cuisine and at the same time visiting one of the most beautiful and monumental area of the city. The tasting is conducted by our Wine Expert guide and includes a brief guided walk of about 30-45 minutes to admire a couple of the most interesting monumental sites of the city (about 1 km), up until reaching a renowned wine Bar in a sophisticated environment, where you will be waited in order to start the joint tasting, served with elegant cutlery and glasses, of five types of excellent quality Sicilian cheese, from the freshest to the most aged, almond cookies and six important wines representative of the main local varieties, such as Nero d’Avola and Catarratto, and a dessert wine. The Sicilian wine, of secular tradition, has won over in recent decades the markets all over the world and the dairy Sicilian tradition is one of the oldest and most appreciated in Italy.
The Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, located in Palermo's Piazza Ruggero Settimo, is a significant theater and home to the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana. Designed by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda, it was intended as a 'theater for the people,' offering a contrast to the more aristocratic Teatro Massimo. Its architecture blends neoclassical and Pompeian styles, making it a striking landmark in the city.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
