About
Imagination, knowledge and deep roots. The Donnafugata wines are a passionate interpretation of Sicily and its sensorial universe. Donnafugata was created in Sicily by an enterprising family with 160 years’ experience in premium wines. The adventure began in the Rallo family’s historic cellars in Marsala in 1983 and at its Contessa Entellina vineyards in the heart of western Sicily. In 1989 Donnafugata arrived on the island of Pantelleria, starting to produce naturally sweet wines.

A very poor tour, the guide wasn't "selling" the whole wine tour experience ie. only showed few pictures & told where wineyards are in the island, brought us to the facilities where packaged boxes of wine are stored & showed the machine that does it (not even in action). We were not brought to the one room that they have & call it "museum" as someone was celebrating there. We were given 4 little glasses to taste with little snacks, the guide didn't even introduce us to the technique of tasting. We have to ask if we want to know something, whihc she wasnt able to respond sometimes, but how can you know what to ask about wineyards if you are not expert?

We thought we were going to taste Marsala...but we were pleasantly surprised to find a winery instead. Our private tour was given in English by a knowledgeable young woman. The production side was informative.. the tasting even better. We had six wines paired with five typical courses. The only reason I gave four stars was that some of the food was only ok. We left with two bottles of wine and one olive oil. As soon as we get home we will ask our local wine store if they will order more for us.

A short but informative tour of the grounds/cellars was followed by a tasting of 4 wines paired with traditional Sicilian street food. The wines were great and I fell in love with the passito Ben Rye - a sweet dessert wine. The food was well paired and tasty. We also bought a rose spumante after the tour that we opened back at our hotel and it was lovely too.
It was my first time wine tasting and I really enjoyed it. It was also very good value for money

Dear Sarah V, we are glad about your rewiew...thanks a lot. So you could taste other versions of Zibibbo grapes: Ben Ryè is the top one but Kabir and Lighea could surprise you, especially if you taste it on Pantelleria island in our Khamma estate. See you soon.

We highly recommend this tour. Stefania , our guide was very knowledgeable and gave a complete tour in English. We had eight people on the tour and celebrated my wife’s Birthday. Everyone sang Happy Birthday in their own language. Italian , Ukrainian , French , it was perfect. The wine is very good and the snacks were perfect. Thank you also to Chiara for the extra goodies to celebrate the Birthday and make it the best.

Visited the Donnafugata winery during a short stay at Trapani. Welcomed by a warm smile from the staff at the winery. The tour was very informative, listing the achievements of the Donnafugata winery during its family business history. Finally we had a taste of dome of their most prestigious wines, the Sur Sur Grillo, Vigna di Gabri, Mille e una notte, and finally the Ben Rye'.

We were very well served by Martina today, such a detailed explanation of the produce. I would definitely recommend and visit again. Started on a bad note due to a miss understanding but once she settled everything we had a wonderful experience. Thanks and very well done.
