Savor eight exquisite Luxembourg wines and crémants in a historic Moselle cave.

Embark on a refined journey through the world of Firriato with this exclusive wine and culinary experience on Mount Etna. Begin with a guided tour of the historic estate, passing through Etna DOC vineyards—including a rare pre-phylloxera vineyard and the ancient 17th-century Palmento—before exploring the bio-architectural cellar carved into an old lava flow. Your visit concludes with a curated tasting of 4 exceptional Firriato wines, paired with a full gourmet lunch by Executive Chef Andrea Macca. The menu highlights local Sicilian ingredients and features both meat and fish options, capped off with a traditional ricotta and pistachio cannolo. Organic olive oil tastings are also included.

The magic of Firriato’s most exclusive labels, from the classic method forged by Etna to the Crus that are born in the Contrade del Vulcano, this experience is designed for all those who share a passion for wine and who wish to treat themselves to a unique experience. This proposal includes a guided wine tasting of 4 Firriato wines paired with local raw materials based dishes made by the Executive Chef Andrea Macca. We will start with a tour of the estate, a walk through the Etna DOC vineyards, including the ancient seventeenth-century Palmento and the discovery of the prefillossera 150 year old vineyard. The tour will end with a visit to the cellar, an example of bio-architecture created within an ancient lava flow. This format combines a guided tasting of a selection of Firriato wines (4 labels) and a complete Lunch, from the starter to the dessert. During the tasting, it will also be possible to taste the Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a blend of Cerasuola and Nocellara, a native cultivars of Trapani countryside.
