Explore the area

01

Local identity

Caltagirone beyond ceramics

Ceramics and the historic centre are the natural starting point. The surrounding area also offers local food, woodland and direct encounters with local makers.

Sicilian Whiskey connects these elements through short distillery visits and longer experiences around Santo Pietro.

02

Planning

How to spend one day in Caltagirone

Use the morning for the historic centre. In the afternoon, choose a 30-minute tasting or a two-hour Sicilian aperitivo at the distillery.

At weekends, subject to availability and conditions, a Santo Pietro Forest experience can replace the afternoon visit and continue into dinner.

  • Morning: historic centre and ceramics
  • Afternoon: distillery or Santo Pietro Forest
  • Evening: aperitivo or Sicilian dinner with whiskey cocktails
03

Whiskey

A distillery experience with the people behind it

Factory Tasting is the shortest introduction: three Red Fox expressions and a direct explanation from the team.

The Sicilian Aperitivo adds local food and more time to understand the story, flavours and people behind the project.

04

Nature

Santo Pietro Forest experiences

Forest experiences meet in Santo Pietro and follow a route confirmed by the team according to weather, access and seasonal conditions.

Start time changes through the year because the experience is scheduled in relation to sunset.

05

Booking

Plan first, pay after confirmation

No account or immediate payment is required. Select a date, time and number of guests; the distillery checks availability and confirms by email.

If your date is not listed, use the direct chat to ask for an off-calendar option.
