Politini Wines

Top choice


Sicilian varietals including Grecanico and Nero d’Avola grapes are Politini's point of difference, and there's an authentic Sicilian family vibe to the place; don't be surprised by a welcome sometimes including live accordion music. Check the website for occasional Sicilian cooking experiences on Saturdays and Sundays from April to September ($150). There's also very comfortable cottage accommodation ($175) onsite.
