Highlights
- Syracuse - Your personal tour leader will pick you up at your hotel/port and from there you will start your wonderful private journey through three Etna wineries. Driving through small authentic mountain villages, you will admire unforgettable views of Sicilian countryside full of oranges and lemon plantations, olives and almond trees, houses and old churches built of lava stone.

Enjoying the panoramic view of Etna, you will drive to the second venue, another outstanding Etna winery, where, with a professional sommelier, you will taste 4 wines of the Region accompanied by a traditional “tagliere” of local products and pasta.

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!
