Sicily Tour, April of 2027

Sicily in Bloom — Spring 2027

Hosted by Mark & Bridget Giuffrida

 April 20–30, 2027 • 10 Nights / 11 Days

Join Bella Flora Expeditions for an unforgettable journey through the beauty, flavors, culture, and timeless traditions of Sicily.

From the vibrant markets of Palermo to the dramatic coastline of Taormina and the volcanic landscapes of Mount Etna, this thoughtfully curated boutique group experience invites you to slow down and savor Sicily through authentic food, wine, history, and local connection.

Our journey begins in Palermo, where bustling open-air markets, rich architecture, rooftop cathedral views, and a hands-on Sicilian cooking class immerse us in the heart of Sicilian culture. We’ll explore the western coast with a day trip to Marsala featuring wine tasting, historic salt flats, and scenic seaside views before visiting the breathtaking Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

Midway through the journey, we travel across the island to Catania, our home for the second half of the adventure. Here we’ll experience the dramatic beauty of Mount Etna with wine and olive oil tastings set against Sicily’s volcanic landscapes. We’ll wander through Catania’s lively fish markets and historic streets while tasting beloved Sicilian specialties along the way.

One of the highlights of the trip includes a guided Vespa day tour to the iconic hilltop town of Taormina, where coastal roads, breathtaking scenery, charming cafés, and Mediterranean views create an unforgettable Sicilian experience.

Throughout the journey, guests will enjoy boutique accommodations, curated cultural experiences, select meals and wine tastings, guided excursions, transportation within Sicily, and the ease of traveling alongside experienced hosts in an intimate small-group setting.
