Beppe and Gianni's Trattoria

Beppe's Tour Highlight:
Today our tour went to Tenuta Bastonaca Vineyard for a cooking class, w**ery tour and lunch. This family vineyard is in the heart of Nero d’Avola area. They celebrate organic farming techniques to grow their grape varieties and olive production. Social media celebrity chef Luisa of Richette di Luisa guided us in making Scaccia, a delicious Sicilian street food in two flavors.

Beppe's Tour Highlight: Ortiga
A stop in Ortiga for a walking tour with our new friend Greta, a most knowledgeable and dynamic guide who made Sicilian history come alive! Ortiga is filled with Greek myths, ancient ruins, stunning Baroque architecture, and fun shopping. We sampled it all!

Beppe's Tour Highlight: La Contea
It's a beautiful small w**e producer located on the slopes of Mt. Etna. The minerality of the soil, combined with the gentle breezes of the Ionian Sea, and the heat of the Sicilian sun result in an abundance of Carricante, Cataratto, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese grapes. W**e production includes a diverse and interesting compliment of white, rose, red, and sparkling w**es.

A peek behind the scenes. Our spinach-infused ravioli. Only two more days before it's off the menu. Filled with ricotta, fontina, and parmesan cheese. Cooked in a whipped mascarpone cream sauce with prosciutto cotto.
