Experience the Charm of an Urban Winery on Mount Etna's Slopes in Sicily, Italy
3 hours·Instant booking
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.
