La Foresteria is Planeta’s new place dedicated to hospitality, cooking, wine and the land.

La Foresteria seems like a typical rural hamlet of houses placed on the hill and it’s immersed in the vineyards and olive groves which stretch to the beach of Porto Palo, the crystalline sea at Menfi in the province of Agrigento, a few kilometres from the well-known Planeta wineries and placed in the centre of a region extraordinarily rich with archaeological sites and natural reserves. La Foresteria is the perfect place for a “gourmet” holiday in the heart of ancient sun-kissed Sicily, where the relaxing pace of life, the flavours, traditions and Mediterranean aromas are all to be relished.
