We did the Tour of Sicily wine tasting at 35 euros per person. We tasted 5 wines, sat outside in the vineyard. Food was also provided, small bites of bruscetta/crostini, tomatoes and olives. Everything was perfect. The host was very knowledgeable & friendly, and she explained the different wines and the vineyards (Planeta have several across Sicily). We then got to visit the cellar and explore the site/garden a bit more. We bought 2 bottles of wines from the shop - several varieties were available, starting from about 10 euros a bottle. Definite must do in Sicily if you are a wine lover!

The remains of the villa are set in countryside from which you can see Noto just beneath the mountain. The mosaics themselves are a bridge into a different time and they are awe inspiring.

Calamosche is quite a small bay, that can only be reached by foot (about 20 minutes walk). Being located in the Vendicari Reservoir is quite a unique experience with crystal clear water. Remember to bring enough water and food, and maybe check the wind situation to make sure you’ll have the best experience!
