Baglio Occhipinti — wedding venue in Vittoria, Sicily
The baglio dates to the 17th century, built in the traditional Sicilian fortified farmhouse style in the province of Ragusa. The estate sits within the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG zone, producing wine from organically cultivated vines.
Fausta Occhipinti, a landscape architect, led the restoration with a sensitivity to both the building's agricultural heritage and the surrounding landscape. The result is an eco-retreat where contemporary design amplifies rather than replaces the farmhouse character.
