• Trapani–Birgi Airport (Vincenzo Florio Airport) lies about 10 km south of Trapani and is often the most convenient for regional and low-cost international flights.
• Palermo Airport (Falcone–Borsellino), approximately 90 km away, offers broader flight connections. Both airports are serviced by regular bus transfers to Trapani city.

Many wine tour operators offer private or group pick‑ups directly from both airports — an easy way to begin a vineyard itinerary without arranging your own transfer.

Trapani’s port hosts ferries and hydrofoils from the Aegadian Islands, Pantelleria, and occasionally Tunis. If you're coming from Pantelleria as part of a wine-and-island tour, this is an efficient launch point. From Trapani port, it's a short taxi or local bus ride to inland wineries — some tours even include a port pick-up.

The nearest train station is in Trapani, with Trenitalia services connecting the city to Marsala, Mazara del Vallo, and Palermo. Note that service can be infrequent, and travel to inland estates typically requires a bus, taxi, or organised tour.

Local buses (AST / Trapani municipal) link Trapani to valley towns like Paceco and Valderice, but are less frequent in rural zones. A wine tour is often the most seamless option.

Driving gives the most freedom. From Palermo via the A29 motorway, it’s about a 1.5‑hour journey; Trapani itself is only 15–20 minutes from Trapani–Birgi Airport. Roads to estates — like Erice DOC wineries on SP31/SP3, vineyards near Salaparuta, or coastal farmhouses — are well signposted. Most venues offer free parking.

Be aware that rural roads can be narrow and winding, and during summer, heat can make driving uncomfortable without air conditioning. A GPS or offline map helps in more isolated areas.

Many visitors opt for guided wine tours — full‑ or half‑day trips that include transport, tastings, meals, and visits to 2–4 estates. These typically start in Trapani or nearby airports and often include hotel or port pick-up. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially in peak season (May–September).

The inland Trapani region is known for traditional cheeses that pair beautifully with wine. These can be found at farm shops, rural markets, and taste‑focused agriturismi.

• Vastedda della Valle del Belìce (DOP) – A unique soft, tangy sheep's‑milk stretched‑curd cheese from the Belìce Valley.
• Ericino (P.A.T.) – A mixed sheep‑and‑cow's milk cheese from the Erice area, aged and rustic.
• Caciotta degli Elimi (P.A.T.) – A firm sheep’s‑milk cheese from Calatafimi, traditionally pressed and aged.
• Piddiato (P.A.T.) – A stretched‑curd sheep cheese made by reworking pecorino curds.
• Caciotta degli Elimi and Ericino are often available at the same outlets.

Look for them at farmers’ markets in Trapani, Calatafimi Segesta, or through agriturismi in the Belìce Valley.
