Two themes stand out clearly when planning a trip to Aghione: wine and other products, and cultural history. The village is surrounded by vineyards, citrus groves and olive groves; its terroir is known for renowned wines. Specific places to discover include two estates, the Église Saint-Philippe d'Aghione, the remains of the Puzzichellu baths and the festival in honour of Saint Philip. The ways to visit differ: a sales area, group tastings on request and visits by appointment are not the same.

Wine, olive oil and other products

Domaine de Marquiliani is located on the Aghione plateau. It offers olive oils made on the estate, rosé, white and red wines, as well as almonds. This gives a more precise picture of its product range than the general term “wine”: olive oil has its own place in the selection, alongside three types of wine and almonds. If you are weighing up culinary interests for your trip, this selection offers several distinct focuses.

The estate’s sales area is open to visitors. It can organise introductory tasting sessions for groups on request. Arrange a group tasting before you arrive; this condition applies to the sessions.

The 2025 regional visitor guide lists organic saffron and saffron-based products, as well as picnics featuring vegetables from the garden, for Domaine Nepali Corsica in Aghione. It describes visitor reception as available year-round by appointment. Arrange your visit before you arrive.

The two culinary profiles differ: Marquiliani offers olive oil, various wines and almonds; the 2025 visitor guide lists saffron products and garden-vegetable picnics for Nepali. This means you can plan not only around a product, but also around the kind of visit you want.

Church and baths: two historical perspectives

The present-day Église Saint-Philippe d'Aghione dates from around 1850 and was rebuilt on the site of an earlier place of worship. It was completely restored in 1896. These details refer to different stages: the former place of worship, the current building and its later restoration. Anyone interested in architectural and religious history will therefore find more than a single date here.

The remains of the Puzzichellu baths are a place to visit and preserve traces of a flourishing period in antiquity. They offer a different historical reference point from the church: the baths are associated with traces of antiquity, while Saint-Philippe is associated with the history of a building dating from around 1850 that was later restored. The comparison helps you choose between an interest in ancient history and one in ecclesiastical architecture.

An annual festival date

The festival in honour of Saint Philip takes place every year on 1 May, with a country feast. This gives your trip planning a specific date to work with: if you want to experience the festival, 1 May is the date to keep in mind. Unlike wine, olive oil and cultural heritage, which appeal to different interests, the celebration combines a fixed date with a country feast.
