Interesting tour! - This was an interesting and lovely experience! Silvio gave us a tour of the herb garden, and was so knowledgeable about all the plants. We were then taken inside to look at the ancient grain store and learn more about the process of producing grain. It finished off with a tea tasting from some of the amazing herbs. All fascinating, and Silvio was an incredibly friendly and informative guide. Would definitely recommend as something to do in Sciacca!
