In the sun-drenched heart of Sicily, where the land rolls in shades of gold and green and the sea lingers just beyond the horizon, lies a family legacy rooted in earth, elegance, and innovation. This Planeta Winery Tour is more than a tasting—it is a sensorial journey through Sicily’s landscapes, flavors, and soul, where wine is not simply made, but lovingly crafted in dialogue with nature and tradition.
Founded on a deep respect for Sicilian terroir and an eye toward the future, Planeta is not just one winery but a constellation of estates—each one nestled into a distinct region, each one telling its own story. Depending on your tour’s location—perhaps the Ulmo estate in Menfi, where it all began, or Feudo di Mezzo, set beneath the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna—you’ll be immersed in the scenery that shapes each bottle.
As you arrive, the first thing you notice is the silence—the kind only found among vines, broken only by a breeze brushing through the leaves and the crunch of earth beneath your feet. The vineyards stretch in orderly rows, kissed by sun and sea air, their grapes heavy with promise.
Your guide, often a member of the Planeta family or a passionate enologist, will walk you through the winery’s philosophy: a blend of ancient Sicilian varieties and international innovation, of sustainability, biodiversity, and deep local knowledge.
Step into the cellars where oak barrels rest in cool, stone-walled stillness. The scent of fermenting must and wood lingers in the air—a quiet alchemy in progress. Learn how Planeta balances old-world techniques with modern precision, honoring the land while pushing boundaries!
Then comes the tasting: a curated flight of Planeta’s finest wines, each glass a different expression of Sicily’s diverse terroirs. Sip a crisp La Segreta Bianco, a bold Nero d’Avola, or a mineral-rich Etna Rosso, born from volcanic soil. Paired with local cheeses, olives, and rustic breads, the tasting becomes a feast—a conversation between land and table.
The beauty of Planeta lies not only in its wines, but in the way it invites you to experience Sicily through them. You’re not just tasting grapes—you’re tasting sunlight on limestone, mist from the sea, and centuries of care.
End your visit with a walk through the vineyards, a quiet moment overlooking the countryside, or a toast shared under a pergola as the light turns golden and the vines exhale the warmth of the day.
This Planeta Winery Tour is a celebration—not just of wine, but of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the unique identity of Sicily itself. Whether you're a curious traveler or a devoted oenophile, you’ll leave with more than knowledge. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the island’s heart—and a memory that lingers on the palate like a perfectly aged vintage!
