The wine of Ustica, shaped by volcanic soil and a family story

Among vineyards overlooking the sea, Ustica’s only locally produced wine comes to life.

Its story is rooted in a family that has cultivated this land for generations, following its natural rhythms and preserving its traditions. The winery was established in the early 1980s, and today Vito and Margherita, agronomists and owners of Hibiscus Farm, carry this family heritage forward, combining knowledge, respect for nature and a deep love for the island.

This Fuitina Experience takes you through the vineyards of a certified organic farm, where you’ll discover how volcanic soil, salt-laden sea breezes and the Mediterranean sun shape the distinctive character of the wine produced on the island.

But Vito and Margherita’s farming story continues through other products of the land. In Ustica, they grow the Lentil of Ustica, a Slow Food Presidium, alongside other local crops. On the slopes of Mount Erice, in the province of Trapani, they also produce their own PDO-certified extra virgin olive oil, which is available to taste and purchase at Hibiscus Farm.

Hibiscus also welcomes travellers to its farm stay, offering the opportunity to experience the rhythms of rural life in Ustica even more closely.

As you walk with Vito and Margherita through vineyards and fields, you’ll hear stories of family, farming and island life, discovering a tradition that continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to its roots.

The experience ends with a guided tasting of Hibiscus wines accompanied by local products, allowing you to taste Ustica right where it all begins.
