点评:I thorough enjoyed my visit at Papal Estate this week. The guide was excellent and gave lots of historical and horticultural information. The tour of the vineyard lasted about 45 minutes. They have two vineyards. 1000 of their olive trees are at the other orchard. There were only a couple of olive trees at this orchard, though the guide did provide a lot of information about the olive production. Then came the wine tasting that lasted nearly 2 hours with the four wines, olive oil, and an additional tasting of their dessert wines. Since I am a vegetarian, some of the pairings were a bit different than normal. You can see the 4 wines and pairing that I had. Overall, a wonderful experience and afternoon. I plan to return next fall on my next trip to Sicily. FYI - They are in the process of building a storage room and bottling process for their wines. At present, that is not done at this location.
翻译:我这周在教皇庄园的参观非常愉快。导游很棒,讲解了很多历史和园艺方面的知识。葡萄园的参观大约持续了45分钟。他们有两个葡萄园。另一个果园里种着1000棵橄榄树。这个果园里只有几棵橄榄树,不过导游也讲解了很多关于橄榄生产的知识。接下来是品酒环节,持续了近两个小时,品尝了四种葡萄酒、橄榄油,以及一些甜酒。因为我是素食主义者,所以有些搭配和一般的餐酒不太一样。您可以看看我品尝的四种葡萄酒和搭配。总而言之,这是一次非常棒的体验,度过了一个美好的下午。我计划明年秋天去西西里岛的时候再来这里。顺便一提,他们正在建造葡萄酒的储藏室和装瓶车间。目前,这些设施还没有在这里使用。
