Picnic in the Vineyards: A three‑hour farm retreat above the Castellammare Gulf.
Set between the provinces of Trapani and Palermo, the farm sits in the fertile heart of the Castellammare Gulf—Bosco Falconeria—between Alcamo and Partinico. Once called “the garden,” the property folds vineyards, olive groves, citrus and aromatic plantings into a compact, pastoral landscape. The guided outing moves through those working fields to a cellar visit and a lawn picnic of traditional food and local wines.

Outing Highlights
The Castellammare Gulf and the ‘garden’ of Bosco Falconeria
The farm occupies the most fertile belt between Alcamo and Partinico, set in the center of the Castellammare Gulf. Its storied soil—once prized by Emperor Frederik II of Swabia—frames the walk and picnic with wide views and cultivated groves.
Cellar visit, wine tasting and a picnic of traditional food
A central thread of the experience is a visit to the winery for a tasting, followed by a relaxed picnic on the lawn featuring traditional local fare paired with estate wines.
A pleasant walk through working farmland
The guided route threads vineyards, olive groves, citrus plots and an aromatic plant garden, passing farm animals and cultivated plots that illustrate the property’s mixed‑farm character.
