Winery tour and tasting of Sicilian organic wines in Marsala

4.8 (181 verified reviews)

About This Experience

Baglio DiAr is a young, family-run winery in Marsala that makes only certified organic wines, and its guided tour and five-wine tasting is the lowest-priced wine experience on this site. For the price of a glass in a city bar you get the winery walk, five wines and the estate's own olive oil.

A member of the team leads you through the winery and explains the whole process from harvest to aging, then tells the story of the estate and its labels, which are illustrated with references to Sicilian culture. Reviewers describe the tour as simple, friendly and unhurried, and small groups are the norm; couples sometimes find they have the visit to themselves.

The tasting covers the grapes of western Sicily rather than fortified Marsala: three whites made from Grillo, Catarratto and dry Zibibbo, a rosé from Nero d'Avola and a red from Perricone. The estate's organic extra virgin olive oil is served on croutons of durum wheat bread, with water.

The winery is on Via Sebastiano Lipari in Marsala with free parking outside, and the visit lasts about an hour and a half. It is not suitable for under-18s or pregnant guests, and wheelchair users should note the winery is not accessible. Tell the estate in advance about gluten intolerance so the bread can be swapped.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.8/5 by 181 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Excellent food tasting; our guide explained everything to us impeccably. Excellent wines paired with bread and their extra virgin olive oil. Recommended

— Melanie, Septemb

We loved the tour. We asked a lot of questions, and he was very kind to answer us! It was just me and my boyfriend, so it was a private tour at 11:00 a.m., and we had all 5 glasses to taste the wines. Our favorite was the Fantasia, and we also tried the sparkling wine because I was curious to know what it was like. We ended up taking a wine because we really loved it, and we paid less than €11. It was really worth it. I recommend it to everyone. Great value!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this tasting so cheap?

Because you get yourself to a small estate and there is no transfer, guide bus or restaurant lunch in the price. The visit itself is complete: a guided winery walk, five wines, olive oil and water. It is the site's price floor for exactly that reason.

Does it include Marsala wine?

No. The five wines are still table wines from western Sicilian grapes: three whites, a rosé and a red. If fortified Marsala is the point of your visit, choose the Florio tour or Cantine Mothia, both of which pour it.

Is the tour in English?

Yes, in English and Italian. Several English-speaking reviewers mention having a guide to themselves or in a group of four, so questions are welcome.

How long does it take?

About an hour and a half, covering the winery walk, the story of the estate and the five-wine tasting with olive oil. Arrive ten minutes early to park.

Who cannot join?

Guests under 18 and pregnant visitors, per the operator, and the site is not suitable for wheelchair users. Coeliacs can join if they let the winery know in advance so the bread is swapped.
