Wineries and farm stays

"Everywhere in Sicily, there are wonderful "agriturismi" farms where guests and their families can enjoy life in the countryside with local food and wine. Masseria Pernice, a beautiful quadrangle of a farm about 30 minutes from Palermo, is typical, with several rustic, but comfortable apartments, a pool and a big central dining room where the farm's own wine and local cheeses are a delicious highlight of every evening."
