Sicily done right isn’t about how much you can fit into a trip. It’s about how much you get out of it.

The long lunches. The people you meet. The places you’re welcomed into. The wine poured by the person who made it. And enough time to actually enjoy where you are.

That’s the Sicily we love. And the way we believe it should be experienced. 🇮🇹

There are many ways to visit the Egadi Islands.

This is our favorite.

A sailboat. Crystal-clear water. A leisurely lunch prepared with the best ingredients the season has to offer. And wines from Azienda Agricola Ansaldi, a family whose passion for Sicily is evident in every bottle they produce.

What makes days like this special isn’t just the scenery.

It’s the people behind the experience.

The winemakers who dedicate their lives to preserving Sicily’s traditions. The fishermen who know these waters intimately. The families who continue to share their corner of the island with genuine warmth and generosity.

We believe travel is at its best when it connects you to the people and places that make a destination unique.

This day on the water does exactly that.

Slow sailing. Good wine. Beautiful food. The Egadi Islands as they were meant to be experienced.

CAPERS… do you love them or hate them?

I’m convinced most people (myself included) have no idea what capers are actually supposed to taste like until they try Sicilian capers packed in sea salt.

Not vinegar. Not mushy little green things hiding in pasta salad. REAL CAPERS from Salina.

The first time I tasted them properly here, I finally understood why Sicilians use them in pretty much everything. They completely transform simple ingredients into something that tastes like the Mediterranean.

I just shared one of my favourite easy summer recipes on the blog featuring salted capers from Salina. It’s simple, full of flavour, and exactly the kind of dish I find myself craving as summer rolls around. And if you’re craving a Taste of Sicily, this is a simple way to bring it to your table!

For our final evening with our guests Jay & Grace from California, we gathered around the table at Ansaldi Winery for one of those nights you wish you could bottle up forever. Incredible food, exceptional wines, golden light over the vineyards, and the kind of company that reminds you why sharing Sicily is so special.

These are the evenings that stay with you long after the trip ends.

How do you choose the highlights when every moment feels special?

The food. The views. The smiles and laughter.
But what made this first Signature Eastern Sicily journey unforgettable were the people and the connections made along the way.

Strangers at the beginning of the 10 days… friends by the end of it.

We feel so privileged to share our Sicily with such wonderful people and create memories together that we know will stay with us for a very long time.

Our SIGNATURE EASTERN SICILY JOURNEY is off to a beautiful start.

Our first few days together have taken us through Taormina and the slopes of Mt. Etna… long lunches, vineyard conversations, sea views, tiny villages, and the kind of moments that can’t really be planned, only experienced.

There’s always something special about the beginning of a journey. As the days unfold, we get to know our guests more personally and watch them fall in love with Sicily the same way we did… through the warmth of its people, the power of the landscape, and the food that brings everyone together around the table.

To be trusted with someone’s time here, and to share this island we love so deeply with such wonderful people, is something we never take for granted.

Grateful already for this week together. 🤍

Most people get Sicily in July wrong.

They try to see too much.
They move too often.
They plan it like any other trip.

And the result is a version of Sicily that feels hot, busy, and harder than it should be.

The truth is, Sicily in the summer needs to be approached differently.

You need fewer transitions.
Better positioning.
And a pace that actually works with the heat, not against it.

That’s exactly why we created our Elite journeys.

We keep the group small.
We limit how much you move.
And we build the experience around the moments that matter, by the water, at the table, in places worth staying.

Everything is already thought through, so once you’re here, it just flows.

That’s when Sicily starts to feel the way it’s meant to.

July 6–15
July 25–August 3

If you’ve been thinking about Sicily this summer, comment “JULY” and we’ll share the details with you.
