About Mazara del Vallo
Mazara del Vallo is Sicily's most North African-feeling town: a maze-like Kasbah of whitewashed alleys, a Norman church built over a mosque, and Europe's largest fishing fleet moored along the canal port. Much of what you'll do here revolves around the sea and the vine, from the celebrated Mazara red shrimp to the Grillo and Nero d'Avola grown on the surrounding coastal plain. Start with a Full Tasting Tour at Assuli Winery in Mazara del Vallo to understand the local terroir, then pair it with the Mazara Red Shrimp and Tenuta Gorghi Tondi Wine Experience for the town's signature land-and-sea

Frequently asked questions
Book at least a few days ahead for wine tastings and private tours, and earlier in July and August, when the town fills with Sicilian holidaymakers and the fishing fleet's catch draws crowds to the port. Spring and early autumn are quieter and cooler, and small-group tastings at the wineries often sell out first on weekends.
