About this experience
The Three Cities is a collective description of
the three fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa
and Senglea. During the tour you will drive
past Cospicua, you will then arrive in Vittoriosa. The third city Senglea is also called Civitas Invicta because it managed to resist the Ottoman invasion at the Great Siege of 1565.
You will then drive to the 1743 ir-Razzett l-Antik Qormi. The wine
tasting tour commences with a historical introduction amongst
original artefacts, followed by an explanation about the process of
how the locally grown grapes are pressed, fermented and eventually
transformed into wine. The wine sampling is held in the restaurant, where trained staff guide guests through a wine tasting session to sample different Maltese wines accompanied by a selection of local savouries like Maltese bread and cheese.
Tour on Tuesday is available in English, French, German & Italian.
Tour on Friday is available just in English
