Booked visit, family welcome, company guide who briefly illustrated the characteristics of the various wines produced and their derivatives, first of all Marsala, in its various typologies.
This was followed by an unguided tasting which could include each product.
Familiar, welcoming environment, with a presentation suitable for a general audience, without going into in-depth details.
The judgment of the various wines and fortified wines therefore according to personal taste.
All in all pleasant.

-The wine and food were absolutely superb and their tasting ration was very generous
-The selection of wine was varied and rich.

Wine tasting is an experience I would recommend to anyone looking for authenticity, quality and passion.
We were greeted with kindness, we spent a very pleasant time and, satisfied with the wine, we also decided to buy various bottles, to bring with us a piece of this wonderful land.
What about it? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

We have had the chance to try the tasting experience at Alagna Vini in Marsala and I have to say it was well worth the visit.
Starting from the place: there is a large parking space available for cars and buses, facilitating those who come by themselves or with organised tours.
The structure is very typical and interesting, with cellars being both above and below ground: we have been amazed by the historical wine cellar located below ground, excavated in tuff and bringing us back to how wine used to be made in the past.
The tasting room is spacious, well kept and the experience is nice: we have tried several wines, paired with snacks to better taste notes and flavours.
To top it all off, staff is professional, kind and available to accommodate requests where possible.
Bottom line:
- If you are in Marsala, we would recommend a visit
- Pro-tip: they produce a very particular type of Marsala wine, called “Vergine”: we had never had the chance to find it in any store we have visited, so we would absolutely recommend to get your hands on this bottle if you can!

Impromptu pleasure visit the night before. Mr. Antonio was welcoming and kind although the visit inside the cellar was rather hasty, quick. We tasted 7 wines out of the 22 available; all very nice were it not for doing it standing at the counter instead of sitting quietly at a table and drinking all seven wines in the same glass. Pairings of the tasting are to be reviewed (Sushi wine with spicy salami and bruschetta). Overall a pleasant experience, but not the best.

This tour gave us an excellent insight into Marsala wine and wines of Marsala. Great overview. Our guide was Silvia - who was absolutely brilliant - professional, friendly and able to translate into English, French and Italian for the 10 or so people in our group. She had excellent knowledge and was happy to answer questions whilst we tasted from a range of about 18 wines and enjoyed some traditional Sicilian food. Excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.

Superb tasting and tour with the most lovely Silvia. She was very knowledgable and personable. A great (large) selection of Marsala’s and some still wines too, all served with food matches. Unbeatable value (other producers only offer 3 wines, we had 16!). It’s a little further out of town but well worth the extra mile! Thank you!

Silvia can transmit her knowledge in several languages. Quite restricted visit of the farm but tasting at the top. From dry white to sweet to dry or fruity red, all accompanied by a buffet... of 7 wines announced, we tasted 15... my favorite was Lanni. I recommend this experience. La ringrazion Silvia!

We did not even reserve a tour but the staff did take us on one anyways. The tour guide was so kind, warm and welcoming that it didn't even feel like a tour. The tour was great but the tasting itself, amazing. We got to taste around 10 wines, including wine-matched small Sicilian snacks that were all to our liking.
During the tasting, the staff was also kind enough to give us hints on where to go in Marsala and even wrote down all the best places to go.
Wine tour, tasting and great experience of Marsala all in one place, highly recommend!

Silvia was wonderful , patient and knowledgeable .
She took the time to be sure we all had a memorable experience . The tasting was very thorough and it was paired with more food than I expected . Thoughtfully choreographed and delicious . A very extensive collection of wines from this cantine . We didn’t see much of the production nor the whole process but all in all a very good and positive experience from a region that has been making wine for over 6,000 years . They got this right !
