Salina is a charming island, that not only offers breathtaking views and wonderful visits to untouched beaches and spectacular cliffs, but is also a great place for food and wine enthusiasts, above all as far as wine tasting is concerned.

Residence Salina staff will be pleased to show the best restaurants and canteens for wine tasting, seeing that the island is rich in wine farms: Hauner, Fedech, Colosi, D’amico; Caravaglio, Virgogna and Tasca d’Almerita that owns its own vineyards in Salina-

Hauner canteen, for example, was founded when the owner, who was from Brescia of bohemian origins, decided to live in Salina in the 70s after several  holiday periods spent in the island. Well known painter, Hauner was fascinated by the island and its colors that became the main features for his paints, and are actually reproduced in the labels of his wine bottles.  Not only Hauner fell in love with the island and its colors but also with the grapes, malvasia and the way to treat them. Grapes are dryed in the mats during the day, and recovered during the night, for several weeks.
