Full description

First stop will be Zafferana Etnea, where the guide will help you discover the beauty of the town, passing through areas lapped by different lava fronts.

Zafferana is considered the honey capital of Sicily. Enjoy the opportunity to taste honey and other typical products, including extra virgin olive oil with a tasting tour to appreciate their qualities. Next, you will move on to an Etna winery where you will meet an expert sommelier who will introduce you to some local wines. Learn the story behind the production of each bottle, from pruning to harvesting. Finally, led by the sommelier, you will have the opportunity to taste six different wines, not only from Mount Etna. At lunchtime, you will then visit the second winery, where you will enjoy a full lunch with antipasto, primo, and secondo, expertly paired with 3 Etna Doc wines (one white and two reds). After lunch you will visit the vineyards. Expert oenologists and/or sommeliers will take you behind the scenes of Etna's wine world, before returning to Catania in the early evening.

    We were the only two people on our tour. Our guide knew a lot about Catania and Etna and shared a lot of information about the area. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries were excellent choices and the experience was superior. We had a wonderful time.

    This was a really lovely tour of the Etna vineyards. The wine is delicious and the venues are stunning. Unfortunately our tour guide had a baby at the time of the tour, however they replaced them with a lovely man named Antonio who took us anywhere we wanted, showed us the town, took pictures for us, was very polite and tried his hardest to keep us entertained! Would recommend this tour :)

    Highly recommend to anyone interested in wine. The tour was excellent and made by the amazing group we were fortunate to be part of. The wine and food were delicious and our guide was very knowledgeable and safe through all of the windy roads. If you're in Catania, fancy a day trip and like wine, do this one. Scenery is also breathtaking.
