On days five and six of our combined Feast on History and Experience Sicily tour we dove in to Sicily! We flew from bella Napoli to Sicily to embrace the sea and the sun. Our home base is the village of Scopello, where we had a wine-pairing dinner featuring the varietals of our agriturismo. Cinzia, the owner and fourth generation wine-maker, lead our pallets on the journey. Yesterday morning we wandered the medieval streets of Erice and took in the sweeping views from Mount San Giuliano. We were overwhelmed by cannoli at Bar Erice in Napola, and after a cantina tour and tasting in Marsala, we delighted in a smooth boat excursion around Mozia and watched the sunset along the salt flats.
