Dreaming of Planeta

On our last holiday in Italy, the Mr. and I traveled down to Sicily to visit family and explore the island.  Sicily itself is amazing, I could go on and on for days about how much I love Sicily and that I think that you should all visit, but I will try to keep my focus here…Planeta!

We stayed at the estate for the Planeta Vineyard, La Foresteria, and it was truly magical.  It is an experience like no other.  You are surrounded by the vineyard and you can also see the sea from every angle.  The rooms, the endless food, the wine, the hospitality – I truly cannot say enough great things about the estate.
