A short tasting, or time around the table

The factory tasting is a 30 minutes introduction at €15.00 per person, for 1 to 10 guests. Compare three whiskey expressions with almonds and Sicilian chocolate, and talk with the crew about what makes Sicilian Whiskey different. You do not need previous tasting experience.

For a longer visit, choose the 2 hours Sicilian aperitivo at €30.00 per person, for 1 to 8 guests. Whiskey accompanies one arancino and one cannolo per person, with the food choices shown in the booking form. It is not a full dinner.

Choose your actual starting point

Sigonella is an area of departure, not our address. Whether you are leaving from accommodation around Motta Sant'Anastasia, elsewhere near Sigonella or another town, calculate your route from where you will actually start. A workplace and a home are not necessarily the same starting point.

The destination is Via Domenico Tempio 46 in Caltagirone. Use the public map links to plan the journey; no directions inside installations or guaranteed driving times are provided. Travel, parking and transfers are not included in the experience.

If you are meeting friends from different towns, agree a meeting point and a return plan before requesting the session. Make sure the person driving will not drink. Follow the final arrival instructions sent with your confirmation.

Make Caltagirone the day out

Start with a walk in the historic centre and the ceramic-decorated Scala di Santa Maria del Monte. Choose the workshops or cultural stops that interest you and check their opening times: a factory booking does not include a city guide, museum admission or workshop visit.

Then leave time to reach the factory for a confirmed 30 minutes tasting. This is the shorter option if you want most of the day for the town. If you prefer a slower gathering with friends or colleagues, allow 2 hours for the aperitivo and reduce the other stops.

Book the experience around the journey and cultural visits, not the other way round. The factory is a separate stop from the historic centre. An evening in town or a weekend forest dinner follows a different plan and calendar; neither is automatically included.

Request first, travel after confirmation

Use the finder to check your date and group size against the published calendar. Both factory experiences ordinarily run Monday to Friday and need at least 4 hours' notice. A request is not yet a confirmed reservation. Saturday and Sunday factory visits are not automatically available.

You can complete the request in English and enter an international phone number with its country code. Tell us in the notes if you need an English-speaking visit, have allergies or are bringing someone who will not taste alcohol. The crew will check these details before confirming; an English interface alone is not a guarantee of the visit language.

No payment is required to submit your request. After confirmation, follow the payment instructions in your email. Marketing consent is optional. No military affiliation is needed, and we do not ask for service details. Alcohol is for adults only.

Coming as a larger group or considering an organised outing? Contact the crew first to check capacity, language and timing. This is an independent Sicilian Whiskey experience, not an official Navy or MWR programme, and no partnership is implied.
