Experience the unique charm of an urban winery located on the scenic slopes of Mount Etna.
The tour consists of three engaging segments:
Vineyard Walk
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome and a stroll through our urban vineyards, situated between Catania and Etna. This unique trek features rare dry-stone buildings and walls dating back to the 19th century, alongside an oak wood that once formed part of a vast forest above Catania, now reclaimed by the city. If you're visiting with children, they'll receive their own treasure map to enhance the fun. Remember to wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, as tennis shoes are ideal for this experience!
Palmento Visit
After the vineyard walk, you'll visit our 18th-century Palmento, one of the largest and best-preserved traditional Sicilian wineries in the region. Here, you can admire the impressive chestnut wood barrels and a grape pressing machine dating back to 1790. This historical gem also offers fascinating family stories drawn from our ancestors' diaries from the 1800s.
Wine Tasting Experience
The tour concludes with a delightful tasting session featuring wines from four different wineries around the volcano. Each wine is expertly paired with Sicilian fine-dining tapas crafted by our in-house chef.
At the end of the tasting, enjoy a specially prepared main course to complete your culinary experience.
The tour starts at 4:30 PM, with the tasting dinner served from 6:00 PM and concludes by 7:30 PM. After dinner, you will have a chance to enjoy sunset from our gardens to finish your day unwinding and relaxing.

Write a reviewThe ancient palmento that welcomed me, for a rich and tasty aperitif, Saturday evening is truly magnificent. I tasted a red Etna, locally produced and I found it exceptional. The place is well heated and well cared for in the smallest details. The welcome and the service were impeccable. The Christmas atmosphere made everything more magical. I will return soon. Thank you

We really enjoyed the winery tour. The owner told us about the history of the family business and took us through the vineyards and winery grounds. After that, we had a tasting with exquisite snacks. The food was absolutely delicious and we didn't expect to enjoy it this much. I highly recommend it to everyone. We also ordered an additional dish, but the main set was sufficient.

We appreciated the structure like never before and we are absolutely happy to have met you and we are grateful to the owner Nicola for everything he did for us. My wife and I really want to praise Martina's fantastic organizational skills, once the party was over we immediately realized that if we had not been guided by her nothing would have been as beautiful as it was. Thank you Martina, you thought of everything and you were fantastic. Thanks also to Leonardo for his cuisine which was of excellent taste and appreciated by all the guests. Our compliments also go to all the waiting staff and to Angela for the preparation and kindness reserved for us and our guests. In short, thank you for everything, you have entered our hearts and we will definitely come back to visit you as soon as possible. Kind regards Edoardo and Valentina

Loved every thing about Eta Urban Winery. Angela was a great host. The property and the history is beautiful. Brings you right back to the 1700's with a modern twist. I will be back on our next visit to Catania
