Fantastic wines, fantastic cheeses, and fantastic learning experience. I enjoyed the experience. It was the comfort of home and a great discussion of wine, cheese, and the topics of our world. I recommend!
Thank you Mark!
This was an extraordinary and lovely experience. Patrizia was warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about wine, cheese, olive oil and Sicily. Her home was beautiful and it would be silly not to do this experience at least once.
Wow Patricia, I like your name!:-)) Thank you so much for your kind words, my house is always open to host you. Grazie
Patrizia is amazing! Told us so much about Sicilian wines. We tasted about 10 wines and lots of cheese!! Lots of fun!
Hello Vickie! Thank you so much for your nive review, sicilian wines deserve good publicity!
Really fun tasting, six different wines to try which we just about managed to all taste. The tasting was made by the lovely company who joined my wife and I, Steve and Sherry from the US who were an absolute scream. Along with Patrizia and her nibbles and stories the time absolutely flew by. A really good experience that we would not have missed
grazieeeeeeeeee, so grateful and happy to hear about your nice emotions. Thank you
It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The wines were amazing as was the cheese the hostess is so knowledgeable, so friendly, and so helpful. My only mistake was I didn't book the lunch after the wine tasting. And it's more than a wine tasting. You get a full glass of each wine we had six wines. She explains where they're from. She even has the olive oil that she makes at the the tasting table. I learn more at this wine tasting than any other wine tasting I've done anywhere in the world. Her apartment is filled with artwork a beautiful view I can't say enough about how amazing it was. It was actually the high point of my entire trip.
Hello Richard, thank you for your review, you are very gentle! Patrizia
We were really looking forward to doing wine and cheese tasting in Sicily, especially as it was to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t as expected. It didn’t feel worth the money that we spent (£250 plus booking fee). The experience felt a bit awkward. We were served food which had been cooked by the two other guests in attendance and, although it was lovely, we were only anticipating wine and cheese tasting so we felt obligated to eat a meal. The cheese was not paired with the wines and there was not a lot of wine on offer for the amount paid. We also thought it would be held in a public place, as opposed to someone’s apartment. Just a bit of an unusual experience and not what we expected.
It's bizarre to receive a less-than-optimal review among so many positive and even more-than-positive ones, when you actually arrived significantly late for your meeting while other guests were waiting for you. Good manners would suggest an apology for the incident, but nothing from these guests, so lacking in good manners and courtesy. But returning to the experience, the description clearly states that it takes place in an 18th-century noble palace, inside a private home overlooking Palermo Cathedral, a location all our guests described as wonderful. The wines offered—not glasses but whole bottles that the guests drank in their entirety—were paired with cheeses, and in addition to the tasting, an additional service was provided: a Sicilian lunch prepared by our chef. Maybe too much for people who cannot appreciate.
Patrizia welcomed us into her home (which is beautiful) and shared her knowledge of Sicilian wines while we snacked on an abundance of cheeses and home-cooked bites. We had a lot of caponata on our trip and Patrizia's was by far our favorite. Patrizia makes you feel like you are a dear friend lucky to snag an invite to one of her parties.
You are very kind, I like if my guests feel at home and so I thank you so much for sharing that. All the best Patrizia
I booked this experience very late and was a bit apprehensive when Patrizia asked if I could reschedule. I couldn't and she graciously accommodated me. I ended ip in a one-on-one wine and cheese (and other goodies) tasting afternoon with her on her lovely terrace just opposite the Cathedral. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it! She introduced me to Sicilian wine and cheese, and we chatted on numerous topics ... the time just flew by! And she was very helpful in getting me a cab back when I couldn't find one :) I would do this again if/when (fingers crossed) I go back to Palermo!
Thank you, for accepting to do the wine taste whole we were doing the cooking class! It was such a fun, and nice to accomodate you. Let me know if you come back!
Fantastic experience tasting Sicilian wine and cheese and other delicacies. From the minute you entered Patrizia’s home you were welcomed and felt like family.
Dear Alexandra, it is the way I like to host my guest, I love it and I like to let people feel at home in my house. Thanks to be part of this experience. Patrizia
We had an unforgettable experience with Patrizia during the Sicilian Wines and Cheeses Tasting in Palermo. From the moment we stepped into her beautiful 17th-century home, we were enveloped by its charming ambiance and historical significance, setting the perfect scene for our culinary journey. Patrizia’s expertise and passion for Sicilian wine and cheese were evident throughout the evening. She masterfully guided us through six exquisite wines, each thoughtfully paired with regional artisan cheeses that perfectly complemented the flavors. Her deep knowledge of the island’s wine appellations and traditional cheese-making processes added an educational layer that enhanced our appreciation for each tasting. Beyond her expertise, Patrizia’s warm hospitality made us feel truly welcomed. She created an intimate and relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to fully savor each sip and bite while engaging in meaningful conversations about Sicilian culture and traditions. This experience was not just about tasting incredible wines and cheeses; it was about immersing ourselves in the rich culinary heritage of Sicily, beautifully narrated by someone who clearly loves sharing her culture with others. We wholeheartedly recommend this tasting experience with Patrizia to anyone visiting Palermo. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Patrizia, for an unforgettable afternoon, we can’t wait to return!
Thank you so much for your so kind words, and me too I cannot wait to meet you again! Patrizia
