Restaurant
La Foresteria
Planeta Menfi (AG)
A restaurant facing vineyards, overlooking the sea and surrounded by herbs and flowers. Since 2009 Planeta’s La Foresteria has been an invitation to be immersed in Nature and to dine without awareness of the borders between indoors and out, embraced by the ‘Garden of perfumes’, 44 beds of aromatic herbs, encircled by citrus, pomegranates, olives and fruit trees.
Planeta’s style and welcome, the family recipes, the local products, and the constant dialogue between creativity and innovation by Chef Angelo Pumilia have created a unique restaurant in continual evolution.

Planeta, sicilian winery experience
The principal wine list is called Repertorio 1694 – from the year of purchase of the historic estate at Ulmo - and the most complete chronological collection of the family production from Menfi, Sambuca di Sicilia, Vittoria, Noto, Etna and Capo Milazzo.
To this we have added a list which takes the name of ‘the wines of friends’, with a selection of Sicilian, Italian and international wines, the result of constant discussion with many colleagues, excellent producers, who over time have become family friends.

Bar
the rich aroma of a glass of Planeta wine or of a cocktail especially dedicated for you on this occasion
Close your eyes and imagine yourself on the terrace at La Foresteria Planeta; colours shading from blue to pink creating an infusion of lights which tinge the leaves of vines and olives, the Sicilian countryside around you in its lyrical silence, the sea of Menfi sparkling in the background.
