Just off the toe of Italy’s boot, Sicily has drawn visitors for centuries. Its central location in the Mediterranean made it a coveted target for controlling trade, and a host of conquests—Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman and more—left their imprint, creating a multicultural melange. Vineyards and olive groves flourish in the mineral-rich soil of Mount Etna, an active volcano whose commanding presence shapes Sicily’s farms, wines and way of life. Sicily’s greatest hallmark, though, is its people, renowned for their hospitality—and you’ll meet them like a local on this intimate encounter with everyday life.
