Cantine Aperte in Sicily ★ 4.5
Movimento Turismo del Vino's national Open Cellars day is observed across Sicily with dozens of producer estates opening for walk-in tastings, cellar tours and vineyard picnics. The event is particularly active in Marsala, the Etna DOC, the Vittoria-Ragusa area and along the Menfi coast. Producers normally closed to walk-in visitors use Cantine Aperte as a rare point of open access.
Tip: Plan routes by sub-zone as Etna, Vittoria and Marsala are each a long drive from each other. Choose one zone and do it thoroughly rather than attempting a cross-island circuit.
