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.

From Niscemi to the factory, not the forest

Set your destination to Via Domenico Tempio 46 in Caltagirone. The map below starts from Niscemi town as a public reference: replace it with your actual starting point. Someone working in the area may be leaving from somewhere different from their home or accommodation.

Our indoor tasting is not at the Sughereta di Niscemi, the Santo Pietro Forest or Tenuta San Pietro. Those are different places. Do not use a forest meeting point for a factory booking; follow the address and instructions in your confirmation.

Check the current route and local road notices before leaving, allowing time for traffic, parking and arrival. No transfer or guaranteed driving time is included. Arrange the return journey and a driver who will not drink before you travel.

One appointment, with room for the rest of your day

If your main reason for coming is whiskey, keep the plan simple: arrange a weekday trip to the factory, leave time to arrive before the confirmed session and allow 30 minutes for the tasting itself. Driving and parking are additional to that time.

If you want to sit and talk with friends, set aside 2 hours for the aperitivo instead. Check the calendar before arranging your outing; finishing work nearby does not guarantee a same-day session is available.

For a longer outing, add a separate walk through Caltagirone's historic centre and ceramic workshops before or after the factory visit. Check each place's opening times independently. A forest excursion is a different booking, not an included stop on the way from Niscemi.

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.
