La Planeta

Upon arrival at La Forrestiere, we had free time to wander until our dinner that evening.  This is a beautiful estate in the countryside overlooking the city of Menfi and the Mediterranean, which changes color hourly, it seems.  Two years ago, when we curated this tour, we knew that we wanted to come back here, it is beautiful, the staff, food and the surrounding area are spectacular.  And we all had a crush on Chef Angelo. (more on him in another post!)

Our table for dinner

wine vault

 Since we are such a big group, we took over the dining room.  One poor German couple who were staying here were assigned the wine vault (which is delightful) for dinner, we were a loud group, I'm glad they could close the door!

Cin cin and benvenuti

Menu for the evening, other choices were roasted lamb or grilled Menfi spiny artichokes

A perfect way to end our day here in Menfi.  Tomorrow wine tasting at Ulmo, about an hour away. Ciao for now.
