Guests come for the wine, and the wine stays at the heart of everything. But when they get home and write to us, they talk about the food too: the bread with olive oil, the dry sausage, the potato pizza nobody expects.
At Tenute Camilleri every wine tasting comes with lunch: a Sicilian light lunch with one bite for each wine, chosen to bring out the best in it. It's our way of doing a wine tasting with lunch in Sicily. We're a family winery in Contrada Ciccobriglio, between Naro and Campobello di Licata, 45 minutes from Agrigento, open every day by reservation.

Each wine with its own dish
A tasting here isn't one glass after another. We open a wine, tell you which vineyard it comes from and how we make it, and next to it comes something to eat that goes with it. The white with bread, olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes. The reds with cured meats, cheeses and street food. You taste, compare, and go back to the glass.
It's the way wine has always been drunk here: at the table, with food, never on its own.
Who looks after the table
Behind that table is Rosa Maria, my mother-in-law and Peppe's wife, who in our family looks after the food and the accounts. Two things that seem far apart but have a lot in common: both need order, patience and someone who won't settle.
The Ciccobriglio table comes from what's around us: bakeries, small shops and local families, many of whom we've known forever. Rosa Maria knows who to go to for everything, and when something changes she notices at the first bite.
What you'll find on the table
- Bread with our olive oil, first of all.
- The antipasto: sun-dried tomatoes, primo sale cheese, olives, dry sausage.
- Sicilian street food: impanata, pizzetta siciliana, potato pizza.
- Bread with porchetta.
- Taralli from Naro, at the end, as they've always been eaten here.
In the longer tasting, the arancino arrives too. It isn't a restaurant lunch: it's what you'd find on the table of a Sicilian family throwing a relaxed party for friends and relatives.
What our guests say
It's called a light lunch, but guests often point out that it's not all that "light". We are in Sicily, after all:
