4 Drinking Tours in Sicily to Build a Day Around

1.Pub Crawl Palermo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 595 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $20Our pick

Join a 5-hour English pub crawl in Palermo’s centro storico with free local shots, drink discounts, and four lively bar stops for $20.

“Went with 1 friend- both female. We felt quite uncomfortable by the size of the group, there were around 40 people and the majority were men and we did not feel completely safe. Men on the tour were taking photos of us, and when random men started to follow us no one intervened. Not sure that we were getting the deals advertised, the shots were all straight vodka or rum and undrinkable, the drinks deals sounded good but I think they were the normal price- no one was asking for the wrist band to get the deal.”

3.Chocolatier for a day: raw bean to bar chocolate in Modica

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 3 hours · from $94

Become a chocolatier in Modica. Roast and grind raw cacao, craft your own bean-to-bar bar, taste at every step, take it home.

“We had a fantastic time at the chocolatier experience in Modica! My family, including our 6-year-old son, absolutely loved it. The whole workshop was fun, informative, and delicious from start to finish. The hands-on part was a real highlight—especially for our son. He was totally engaged the entire time, getting to touch, mix, and mold the chocolate himself. It was wonderful to see him so involved and excited. Vincenzo was incredibly simpatico—friendly, welcoming, and great with kids. Giuseppe was extremely knowledgeable and explained the chocolate-making process with real passion. We learned so much about Modica’s unique "cold" chocolate tradition and got to taste every step along the way....”

4.Craft beer tasting with food samples at High Hops

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $42

High Hops in Palermo pairs 3 craft beers with Nebrodi salumi, Sicilian cheeses, and fried gnocco over 2 hours of art and music.

“Locale molto bello nel cuore di Palermo (già solo il logo della birreria dovrebbe attirare gli appassionati di musica). Personale adorabile!! Giovanni e Manuel fra chiacchiere e risate riescono perfettamente a farti immergere nel mondo della birra senza annoiarti né lasciarti mai col dubbio. Esperienza assolutamente da fare, non ve ne pentirete!!”
