Wine OR Wine & Food

A 7-day wine & walking tour (Sept. 27 - Oct. 3) There are two sides to Sicily's raw beauty: One is its rocky coastline, and the other is its mountainous interior. Explore both as you hike along seaside trails and over craggy ridges where traces of ancient civilizations stimulate the imagination. Each afternoon features a line-up of stellar Sicilian wines, from native Nero d'Avola to new Cabernet to eye-opening Marsala.

Highlights:

• Wine estates: Planeta, Donnafugata, De Bartoli & more

• Hiking: 3-4 hours on rocky trails, gravel roads, and paths. Hilly terrain. Partial van support. Level: Intermediate

• Greek ruins at the archaeological parks of Selunite and Monte Adranone

• Byzantine mosaics at the cathedral of Monreale

• Sea-salt produced the ancient way, at the saline of Marsala
