A visit to the cellar and wine tasting
At Abbazia Santa Anastasia each guest is the protagonist of a story that has its origins in the Sicilian wine tradition preserved and handed down by the Benedictine monks.
A tasting in the Abbazia is a unique experience that starts from the land and continues in the cellars: from the vineyard where everything originated, to the cellar equipped with the most modern production technologies, up to the tasting of our natural wines.
Each label is the result of a meticulous work carried out with passion through the organic method and biodynamic philosophy, in order to enhance the natural organoleptic qualities of the grapes and wines. Walking among the rows of vines, learning about winemaking techniques, and tasting wine are activities that intertwine like pieces of an exclusive and fascinating mosaic in one of the Sicilian territories with the most authentic terroir.

Unique moments to savour and enjoy traditional Sicilian dishes together with Chef Alessandro Battaglia and be the main actors of a journey where Nature conducts the work of man and delights him.
Horseback riding in the vineyards
Forget about superfluous thoughts and ride the emotion on horseback immersed in the vineyards and in the Madonie Natural park is one of those experiences that allow you to savour freedom.
For those who love nature and the outdoors, riding a horse means letting yourself be transported to another dimension.
