Starting Point at Baglio Florio

The Agronomic Walk
The walk itself is more than just a stroll. It’s an educational experience where the guide explains the organic cultivation methods, emphasizing sustainability and local traditions. If you’re into how food and drink are made naturally, this part will probably be a highlight. Reviewers mention that the guide is knowledgeable, making the walk both interesting and accessible.
