Gozo: Family Winery Estate Tour with Wine Tasting｜Malta

Discover the authentic flavours of Gozo at a local winery, a cherished family-run estate nestled in the tranquil village of Għarb. Begin your experience with a warm welcome from the Hili family, whose winemaking roots stretch back to 1934. Surrounded by terraced vineyards and the scent of Mediterranean herbs, you’ll be guided through the story of Gozo’s unique viticulture and the passion behind every bottle.

Your tasting session unfolds in the estate’s rustic setting, where you’ll enjoy generous pours of three distinct wines, each crafted from grapes grown in lime calcareous soil for optimal quality. The highlight is a special dessert wine, served by the glass, offering a sweet finish to your tasting journey. Each wine is thoughtfully paired with a curated charcuterie board featuring local cheese and salami, fresh Maltese bread, traditional galletti water biscuits, Gozitan olive oil, and homemade sun-dried tomato paste. As you sip and sample, learn about indigenous grape varieties like Girgentina and international favourites such as Vermentino, Nero d’Avola, Syrah, and Merlot.

Throughout the session, your host shares insights into the family’s winemaking philosophy and the traditions that make Gozo’s wines so distinctive.
