Highlights

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 \

Excellent wine tour! - We visited 3 wineries and got to sample wonderful local wines and food. We had a personal driver (thank you Corrado!) who told us a lot of about local culture and history. Highly recommended!

MAGICAL DAY! - We just finished a 6 hour wine tour of Mount Etna with Marco, and I cannot recommend this experience enough. We visited three unique wineries, and we loved all the wines (and cheeses, foods, etc) that we tasted. The wines were all delicious and we got to taste a variety of grapes from different parts of the island. All the places we saw were interesting and different from one another. Our tour guide was friendly and informative, and we absolutely LOVED the day. I was worried this might be a touristy experience, and it was nothing like that. Absolutely magical, and I just wish I could live this day all over again. Thank you, Marco!

Worth the Splurge! - This was a splurge excursion for us, but worth every penny/euro! We wanted to visit some wineries and all of the other tours only went to a large producer that we can easily buy bottles from in the States. We got to visit 3 truly unique wineries, all were wonderful, but Vin Lizzo were we had our lunch and got to visit with the brothers who began it was the best! La Gelsomina was gorgeous. The final family_owned winery showed us their 250+ year old wine press, which was a treat! You won't go away hungry or thirsty! Also, our driver Omar was extremely accommodating and never rushed us.

Absolutely perfect experience! - Pasquale was very accommodating of our specific needs (and a very last minute booking!) but we could not have asked for a better trip. Our guide / driver Maurizio was very friendly and knowledgeable, and his passion for anything related to Sicily clearly shone through. He went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied with our experience! Our visit to Rosa's vineyard was also excellent - she was a lovely host and provided first class wine and food before showing us through the exquisite vineyard. Absolutely would recommend, this trip should be an essential part of any Sicily itinerary!

Top tier wine tour - I can't put into words how amazing this tour was. Samuela was the absolute best, from pick up to drop off the tour was amazing and she had so much knowledge to share with us. We have done wine tours all over the world and this ranks as one of the absolute best because of the level of service. The first and last winery were absolutely top notch, and the one we went for lunch while not as intimate of an experience provided lots of information on the region and how the industry has evolved over the years. 10/10 experience, it was so goof we will be back next year again!

Great experience and nice guide - A wonderful experience! With a friend we did the vineyard tour with tastings last month and we loved it. The choice of the 3 wineries is excellent, each differing in philosophies and wines offered. Roberto, our guide was really professional but also friendly and helpful, he also provided us with a lot of information about the area in general, about the wines and the various wineries we would visit. Compliments to his knowledge of wines, his English and his not always easy driving along the mountain roads. Super recommended experience and a warm greeting to Roberto! A wonderful experience!

Great experience, great day!! - Terrific experience working first with Pasquale and then our driver Bruno. Toured and tasted 3 completely different wineries that helped me to better understand the breadth and diversity of Sicilian wine and food. Each of the wineries were wonderful hosts. Don’t show up full unless you want to miss out on the unique flavors and food that each winery has to offer. Bruno was fantastic and kept up entertained as we navigated the mountainside between wineries. For those who get car sick, he was an amazingly courteous driver, my wife had no issues. Great tour and people, highly recommend

Fabulous wine and food tour - We had the best time on this tour with our guide Bruno! He was so entertaining and personable. We went to three great wineries, each very different than the other but all excellent wine. If I can come back to Sicily, will definitely be contacting Bruno to be a tour guide for the whole trip! He knows this island!
