The port town of Mazara, with the largest fishing fleet in Italy, is also renowned for its fine seafood (red shrimp and bluefish) thanks to its unique and innovative Arab-influenced cuisine that combines dishes of Muslim origin, like couscous, with ingredients from the Sicilian tradition. The cuisine is complemented by excellent table wines like Nero d’Avola, Pignatello, Insolia and Grillo, fragrant dessert wines like Marsala, Passito and Moscato, as well as excellent grappe, all produced in this area.
The coupling of wine and cuisine offers the chance to embark on numerous wine and food tours, exploring Sicilian traditions.
