The Greeks, Phoenicians, Arabs, and Italians have all held sway over Sicily. Though the Greeks brought their advanced viticulture techniques, Sicilians have been making wine since 4000 BC. Its dry, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production. Arid conditions reduce the chance of rot and mildew, especially in areas kissed with coastal breezes. This makes Sicily a prime candidate for organic farming. Olives, citrus and grains drive the agricultural sector beyond wine.


In the past, however, farmers opted for higher yields, which turned Sicily into a bulk wine centre. They were distributed to mainland Europe to boost thin wines and to China and India, which imported concentrated Sicilian must sweeten foods.


Heritage regions like Marsala did put Sicilian wine on the map. Wine traditions in each of the island’s regions, from Vittoria to Mount Etna, have remained strong. In the 1980s, a resurgence in interest brought improvements in viticulture and winemaking. Today, Sicily turns out some of the most exciting labels in Italy.


We are absolutely delighted to put on a wine dinner focused purely on Sicily, showing two very different regions and introducing you to indigenous grape varietals.


Starting with the new vintage of Zisola Azisa 2021 for the reception drink with canapés, we will sit down to a 4-course meal to match 4 fine wines.


Starter : Alberelli di Giodo Bianco 2020

Primo : Zisola Cattarato Contrado 2021

Main : Zisola Doppiozeta 2017

Cheese : Alberelli di Giodo Nerello Mascalese 2019


Guided by wine experts from Petersham Cellar, you will enjoy a brilliant evening of fine wine and exceptional food in our stunning private dining room at The Petersham.

    The staff, venue, and overall experience was lovely. The event was marketed as a few hours long (I believe 9:30am-12:30pm) but we ended quite early. With this, I was expecting a bit more education or guidance on flowers than what was received. Overall, it was a nice morning but I was expecting just a bit more with the timing and cost.

    Really exceeded expectations! What a lovely night out, the 'chefs table' feeling and being part of a working kitchen was great, and the small group made it intimate and fun. The two chefs running our class were lovely, the food at the end was delicious, and the snacks & prosecco at the start was a nice touch. Hadn't expected a goodie bag either - it was so generous, the whole evening was such good value for money and I really recommend it.
