Agriturismo Tarantola is an organic wine estate located 60 km west of Palermo, owned by the Counts Testa family for generations. Set amid the gentle hills of the Alcamo DOC region, the estate features an 18th-century farmhouse at its heart, overlooking sweeping vineyards and ancient olive groves.

Agriturismo Tarantola is an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and seclusion away from the city, as well as an elegant countryside base from which to explore the most remarkable destinations of western Sicily.

Authenticity is our guiding principle. Our aim is to offer a genuine experience of the Sicilian countryside—unfiltered, sincere, and free from artificial embellishments—in a setting that feels warm and welcoming. Whether you arrive from New York, Amsterdam, London, Munich, Palermo, or Tokyo, if you leave with the feeling of having truly been at home, then our purpose has been fulfilled.

At Agriturismo Tarantola guests may enjoy curated wine tastings, indulge in refined dinners inspired by traditional sicilian recipes, take part in hands-on cooking classes to create their own menus, and discover the history of the estate through its wines.

The surrounding countryside invites exploration, while the nearby beaches of Castellammare del Golfo, Scopello, and the Zingaro Nature Reserve are just a short drive away. Alternatively, one may simply relax on the patio, watching the sun set to the most evocative soundtrack of all: the sounds of nature.

Love for the land, passion for wine, and respect for tradition. This is our philosophy.


Welcome to Tarantola.
 

‘‘We were searching for a break, a pause. What we desired was a real working farm, a small number of guests, good food - organic if possible, a quiet retreat without the frills and fancies that would tempt noisy revelers, a place where the eye would meet only nature on all sides…we got all this and more at Tarantola"
