A volcano, a coastline, and centuries of layered cultures — Sicily carries more history, flavor and drama in its landscape than almost anywhere else in Italy.

From the underground passages of Catania to the cliffside views of Taormina, from the slopes of Mount Etna to the baroque streets of Ragusa and the ancient ruins of Siracusa, this journey moves through some of the island’s most iconic — and most flavorful — corners.

Along the way, private visits to wineries and a traditional cheese producer reveal the island’s lesser-known side — the families and traditions behind Sicily’s wines and cheeses. Marco Avigo hosts the journey throughout, from the first wine dinner in Catania to the last in Siracusa.
