The volcanic soils of Etna produce some of the most exciting wines in Italy. We visit two family wineries on the northern slopes, walking among old vines grown on lava terraces.

In each cellar you will taste three wines paired with local cheese, salami and bread, and learn about the native grapes Nerello Mascalese and Carricante.

  1. Lukas Weber

    Very well organised from the first email to the end of the tour. Pickup on time, comfortable van and a guide who really loves Sicily.

  2. Sophie Martin

    Beautiful places and a relaxed pace. We asked for a stop that was not on the program and the guide was happy to add it.

  3. James O’Connor

    Excellent value for money. The tastings were generous and the stories even better. Highly recommended.
