Donnafugata opens Contessa Entellina to wine-lovers

The Donnafugata cellar in Contessa Entellina stands by the road SS 624 which, winding through the inland areas of Sicily, goes from Palermo to Sciacca.

Donnafugata has been developing wine tourism for many years and attracts record-setting numbers of visitors: more than 9,000 in 2009, 23% of which were foreigners from 50 different countries. Opening Contessa Entellina to the public adds another important piece to a project aspiring to offer a unique experience through visitor-tailored tours.

Here visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the vineyards and cellars to deepen their knowledge of the winery, its philosophy and the secrets of its whole production process. And then a tasting to sample some of the icon wines of Italian enology, born right in this territory, such as the whites Vigna di Gabri and Chiarandà and reds like Tancredi and Mille e una Notte. In addition, groups can be offered wine & food pairings enhancing the flavors of typical Belice Valley products.
