Highlights
- Duomo di Siracusa - Your personal tour leader will pick you up at your hotel/port and you will start your wonderful private travel (from 2 people) around top Etna wineries. Driving by comfortable, air-conditioned car through the small authentic mountain villages, you will admire unforgettable picturesque views of Sicilian countryside full of oranges and lemon plantations, olives and almond trees, houses and churches built of lava stone. The Etna Volcano erupting feeds the soil, and that is why this region is considered to be one of the best in the world for growing grapes and wine production. You will visit the three best wineries at Etna slopes. Wines from these wineries are on the top lists of premium international wine associations. The first venue will be a family run winery, world famous with its outstanding wines. Here you will be welcomed by the owner with a glass of an awesome aperitif white wine. Sipping refreshing wine, you will have a guided tour around the estate, after which you will visit the cellars where the owner or your private sommelier will explain you the wine production process. Finally, you will sit at a wonderful terrace with a breathtaking view of mountains and Ionian coastline, and with your personal sommelier start food and wine tasting. You will taste 4 or 5 excellent white, red and rose Etna DOC wines with locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, sausages, cous-cous, vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, domestic olive oil and fresh home-made bread. Enjoying the panoramic view and unique atmosphere of Sicilian countryside, you will drive to the second venue
- another outstanding Etna winery, where the owner will make for you a tour around the estate, and with a professional sommelier you will taste 4 brilliant red, rose and white wine of the region. You will continue the tour driving to the next venue, an ancient family run winery with an authentic charm.

Great Winery Tastings and Food - I want to thank Maurizio for a great tour of three different Etna wineries on our recently completed
Sicily vacation. Maurizio was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and a pleasure to spend the day with together. We shared common interests in wine and food.. The three wineries each had different personalities, one was an organic/ natural winery, and we enjoyed the tastings at each one. The food was tasty and plentiful. In addition you get to spend a day on the beautiful slopes of Etna. This was not our first time in Sicily and wine is a big hobby of mine and I highly recommend this tour.

This wine tour is an absolute must! - First I want to say our driver was so professional and I felt so safe in his car. Second I want to say how fun the wine tours were. Each winery we experienced something different.
Prestilli tours was magnificent!!

Top Class Tour with a Local Sicilian! - Pasquale is a true professional Sicilian who knows his island and Etna wine region quite well. My girlfriend and I took a private tour with him last week to 3 different wineries all featuring different styles. He ensured we were covid-19 safe with masks, sanitizer’s, and even brought fruits from his garden for us to eat throughout the ride from Taormina. He shared a lot of history about the area throughout the tour too.
He truly went above and beyond to make it a great experience arranging private tours throughout these wineries, our favorite being Patria where we got to visit their fully winery, cellars, and many rooms they don’t usually show on tours. Wine was great but what made it even better was that he accommodated dietary restrictions for my girlfriend who eats vegan.
Flexible on pickup and timing and even dropped us at Isla Bella to grab a few hours at the beach once we finished our day. Highly recommend this tour when you are in Sicily.
Thanks again Pasquale!
