Not a traditional agriturismo, but a historic, family-run winery nestled among the rolling hills of Virzì, near Monreale.
For generations, the Spadafora family has cultivated these lands, producing organic wines that capture the true spirit of Sicily.
Visitors can stroll through the vineyards, learn about the philosophy of Francesco Spadafora and his daughter Enrica, and taste their wines – such as Principe G or the elegant Siriki – paired with local products and family stories.
A genuine, peaceful place where time slows down amid the scent of vines and Sicilian hospitality.
