PROGRAMME Marsala

Day 1: Arrival and Wine Tasting

The tour will begin with a day's arrival at Baglio Donna Franca Wine Resort in Marsala, a perfectly restored 19th-century baglio located in the heart of the Marsala countryside, on the hills facing the Stagnone Reserve and the Egadi Islands. It was here, three centuries ago, that a legendary wine, Marsala, was born.

At 6.30 p.m. you will be expected for a guided tour of the winery, with a tasting of three labels chosen by the Baglio Donna Franca staff, paired with local zero-kilometre products.

Afterwards, you can sit back and relax in one of the comfortable and spacious rooms directly inside the Wine Resort.

Day 2: Visit to the Island of Mozia and Cous Cous School

After breakfast, head to the embarkation point for the island of Mozia (Mothia), which is easily reached by car. The island of San Pantaleo, part of the Stagnone Nature Reserve of Marsala, is one of the most important Phoenician colonies in the world. Once on the island, you can discover its charm by visiting the adjoining Archaeological Museum named after Giuseppe Whitaker, located in the building that was his residence. It houses artefacts from the historic Whitaker Collection and from excavations carried out by the Soprintendenza della Sicilia Occidentale expeditions.

After the excursion, we recommend that you take some time to explore the nearby town of Marsala. Visit the historic centre and stroll along the waterfront, enjoying the city's charm.

In the evening, you will return to Baglio Donna Franca, where you will be expected for a lesson in the Trapanese cous cous school, which will include dinner with a rustic starter and cous cous. Afterwards, overnight stay at the Wine Resort.

Day 3: Free Day in Marsala and Sunset Aperitif

After breakfast, you will have the whole day to freely visit the city of Marsala, discovering all its beauty and traditions. You can explore historic churches, the city centre and enjoy local dishes in the many restaurants.

In the late afternoon, you will head to the Marsala Salt Pans to visit the 16th-century Windmill, still in operation today. Afterwards, you will move on to Mamma Caura, an exclusive sunset bar inside the Ettore and Infersa Salt Pans. Here you can enjoy an excellent aperitif while admiring the spectacle of colours offered by the sunset, considered among the most beautiful in the world. In the evening, return to Baglio Donna Franca for an overnight stay.

Day 4: Visit to Trapani

After breakfast, that will be the end of our services. However, if you still have some free time before your return, we recommend spending it in the city of Trapani, a charming coastal city in western Sicily. Trapani captivates with its golden sandy beaches, picturesque harbour and charming historic centre. Rich in history and culture, Trapani offers the opportunity to explore ancient churches, enjoy local culinary delicacies and admire breathtaking sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea.
