This Palermo Evening Food & Wine Tour with Eating Europe lasts about three and a half hours and takes place in the historic center and La Kalsa neighborhood of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. A local English-speaking guide leads the group through several key sites and tasting stops. The tour begins with a visit to Teatro Massimo, Italy’s largest opera house, built in 1897, featuring Neoclassical and Greek architectural styles. Next, participants watch a live demonstration of Sicilian pizza-making inside a historic palace, followed by tasting freshly made pizza paired with drinks. The tour continues to a unique 15th-century building that once served as a brothel, where guests sample Palermo street foods such as panelle, sfincione, and caponata, accompanied by wine. Walking through La Kalsa, the former Arab quarter founded in the 10th century, visitors observe Arab-Norman architecture and vibrant streets. The group then enjoys three mini arancine in an outdoor seating area on one of Palermo’s oldest lanes. The itinerary includes a stop at a square near Piazza Pretoria, featuring two Arab-Norman churches, and at the Baroque Quattro Canti square, known for its fountains and statues representing the four seasons. The final tasting is a small cannolo at Pasticceria Costa, a pastry shop established in 1960 inside an 1800s boutique. The tour includes tastings of street food and desserts with wine, interaction with a local pizzaiolo, and insider tips about Palermo’s food and city. Gratuities, hotel transfers, and extra drinks are not included. The tour requires at least two guests and can accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice, though it is not suitable for those with severe food allergies.
