Palermo hospitality and great wine - we had a wonderful time tasting wine and cheese with Patrizia! She was so welcoming and did a great job of hosting and explaining wines. It was fun to be inside someone’s home in Palermo— beautiful apartment!

Fantastic wine and cheese experience - My wife and I had a fantastic wine and cheese tasting experience with the fantastic host, Patrizia. She has a lovely home across from the Cathedral so not only do you get a great food experience you also are in a beautiful area of Palermo. The three white and three red Sicilian wines along with local cheese’s were fantastic. And to make it even better we were able to keep sampling till the bottles were done, good thing we had Uber to take us back to our hotel. The final treat was getting to try her homemade limoncello. We highly recommend Patrizia for all of her cooking and tasting tours.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! - One of our favorite experiences of Palermo! It was easy to find, in a convenient location, and the space was so welcoming. The wine and cheese was delicious and the host was wonderful! She was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. 10/10, I would recommend it time and time again...I would even consider going myself for a second time.

Great Experience! - The experience was extremely memorable. We sat at the table with our group of 5 and other group of 5 which created an intimate but Iively crew, and was the perfect number for the experience. We were able to learn about the wines of Sicily and pair it with cheeses that she had recommended. We were plesently surprised by additional dishes that represented Sicilian culture and were delicious, with the whole group buying cookbooks so we can re-create the dishes for our friends and family back home. Highly recommend this experience to all!

Great wines and cheeses, wonderful host! - Our host was extraordinary and the location was cozy, welcoming, and eclectic (and we even got to meet her incredibly approachable cat friends!). The experience was fun and informative, and the wines/cheeses were wonderful! My wife and I love to find gems like this, and we’re looking forward to attending this host/chef’s cooking class as well. Thank you!

Beware of Cats on this home Tasting Tour! - Beware of Cats in this tour! We paid almost $1,000 for this for 4 of us and showed up to the 17th Century Building... AKA someone's home. There were two cats that we saw, cat hair all over the plates, cheese, and furniture! The host didn't care that two of us were extremely allergic to cats and said we should have advised them when we booked and they asked if we had any FOOD allergies! Didn't know cat was on the list of allergies we'd have to advise on. She asked us multiple times to change our tour time. We booked through Viator and they only refunded us 50%. If you love cats, this is the tour for you!

Not Happy. Poor organisation. - The experience was booked and confirmed and the operator did not show up, when we contacted them they informed us that they don't even do the experience on that day and it would not be possible to do the wine and cheese tasting. I'm not sure why viator allowed us to book the experience when it was not even available on that day. We wasted a lot of our time running around getting to the meet point on time and then spent 20mins standing around like idiots for no one. Not impressed.
