Etna Urban Winery presents a distinctive vineyard tourism experience, nestled in a natural place on Mount Etna amidst the growing city. It’s where we’ve chosen to rejuvenate the age-old family practice of Etna viticulture, which is a contrasting choice in an area experiencing a surge in building and infrastructure development.

Our passion is sparked by an estate that’s been in the family for eight generations, and the objective to prove that alternative land usage is viable even in city outskirts. These suburbs still maintain the distinctive atmosphere of a typical Etna lava field.

You’re invited to meander through the vineyards at your convenience using our self-guided vineyard tour. Take your time to relish in your surroundings, pause at scenic overlooks and learn from the informational signs dotted around the vineyard. Take in the austere feel of our authentic Palmento (historical winery), which dates back to 1790 and remains largely unchanged.

Then, venture into our unique cuisine! Our in-house chef Leonardo is excited to take you on a gastronomic adventure through the four corners of Etna, with four different wines paired with four gourmet nibbles.
