Tastings in Marsala: wine tour among flavors and stories of ancient Sicily

21 Jun 2022

At Baglio Oneto, you can discover the quintessence of Sicily is in a glass, or rather in a goblet of wine.

The history of the Oneto-Palmeri family - the owner of one of the most luxurious Wine Resort in Sicily - is directly linked to wine production, a tradition beginning in the 18th century.

By booking a stay at Baglio Oneto dei Principi di San Lorenzo, you'll get the chance to sample the best Sicilian wines and discover the excellence of the local cuisine.

 

A taste of Sicily

 

Are you ready to immerse yourself in a journey of local flavors and traditions that began three centuries ago? Every afternoon we accompany you on a tour of our resort's wineries, starting from the vineyards, where the whole wine-making process begins.

You'll be able to go back in time and follow the same route that old farmers used to take when Baglio Oneto was a noble estate. You'll explore the historic courtyard and the Palmento Room, where grapes were laid down in berries to be crushed before being transferred to barrels. After a brief stop in the manor house, we will guide you to the Ageing Cellar, a room that has never stopped keeping its fascinating atmosphere intact. You will get to taste our fine wines, accompanied by a selection of Sicilian cured meats, cheeses, and cookies.

We will start with the first wine made at Baglio Oneto: the Perpetuum, the pure and authentic version of the Marsala wine. A must-have to discover the Sicilian wine origins.

After the tour, you can stop at our reception to purchase a bottle of the wine you liked the most, a little memory of your vacation in Marsala.

You can also opt for a private tasting if you wish for a more intimate experience. We at Baglio Oneto want to make your stay with us unique and unforgettable.

 

 

At the origins of our wine resort

 

Back in the 1700s, Baglio Oneto was just a noble family manor. It was then turned into a resort, and soon after that, the noble art of hospitality was joined by the wine and olive oil production. A long-standing tradition that is recalled directly by the name. In fact, the term "Baglio" comes from Arabic and means "fortified house." The high walls, the majestic crenelated tower, and the large wrought-iron portal protected Baglio Oneto's crops from theft and looting.

The quality of Baglio Oneto's production was recognized early on, as evidenced by the "Oneto dei Principi di San Lorenzo" wine label. Kept in our cellar, it bears the coat of arms of our family and that of the Sacred Apostolic Palaces, of which our ancestors were official suppliers. Centuries later, the love for our land is still the same.

Our passion is the first ingredient in the 8 types of wine produced in our fields. The most famous is the meditation wine Marsala D.O.C., followed by Zibibbo, Inzolia, Nero d'Avola, Grillo and Merlot.

 

A bouquet of Sicilian flavors

 

The Restaurant of our Wine Resort boasts excellent dishes made with local, high-quality products. Our cuisine is a gastronomic journey of traditional Sicilian and gourmet dishes, enhanced by the pairing with a fabulous vintage wine of our own production.

Indulge in our unique tasting menu to experience a complete immersion in the Sicilian flavors. Each course is expertly paired with a wine from our cellar to enhance Sicily's aromas and flavors.

We also offer specially prepared gastronomic tours. With "Wines in the Kitchen," we cook dishes with wines produced on-site; with "Herbs of the Estate," we enhance the typical smells and flavors of Mediterranean cuisine; and with "Sicilian Golds," we guide you on a sensory journey among Sicilian excellences, such as red shrimp, Bronte pistachios and Modica chocolate.

A day without wine is a day without sunshine. Get your fill of taste and beauty: book your stay at the Luxury Wine Resort Baglio Oneto dei Principi di San Lorenzo in Marsala.
