What to expect

Rugged, peaceful and not on the tourist trail, the Madonie Mountains are real back-to-nature stuff. Locals here have been living off the land for years, and they've been making wine since Roman times. Combine medieval villages, ancient wineries and local food on this half-day tasting tour.

On the burnished hillsides, our first stop is Abbazia Sant'Anastasia Winery, a traditional vineyard. A full tour of the cellars is followed by a taste of their organic wines. From vine to glass, it doesn't get more natural than this.

Then it's on to Castelbuono – one good-looking Sicilian town. All cobbled lanes and medieval architecture, get lost in its maze of streets during free time, or stop by the 'borgo' and the chapel of Sant'Anna. There's a final stop in Fiasconaro to taste a typical panettone pastry treat and manna – a local sweetener made from ash tree resin.

    Vond de wijn proeverij zelf veel te kort, had wel meer tijd mogen hebben tussen de wijnen door. Je zit met andere mensen aan de tafel te praten over de wijn en de volgende wordt al ingeschonken. De rode wijn wordt dan in het glas van wit ingeschonken wat raar is. De tour en uitleg was super leuk. En het stadje erna ook! Overal een aanrader

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.
