Pupillo Winery

We did the wine tasting experience here in late September 2024. Giulia was our guide for the day and she was fantastic. She showed us around the historic and beautiful grounds and the vineyards. She was incredibly knowledgeable. We then had lunch while doing the wine tasting. They say it’s a light lunch so we also ordered the cheese board. We did not need to do this! The food is four courses and incredibly delicious. All the veg is grown on the land as well. A very enjoyable afternoon and one our highlights from the holiday.

Beautiful 360-degree experience, Giulia, kind and knowledgeable, proved to be an eclectic guide. Visit to the estate, including the castle, botanical garden and vineyard. Followed by a tasting with paired platters of local products. Very high quality products. Absolutely worth it. Thank you for the wonderful experience

We spent a magical couple hours in this beautiful vineyard! The Pupillo family bought the stunning castle & grounds and have converted it to a virtually self-sufficient and environmentally vineyard. The location is beautiful & our charming guide Julia was very knowledgeable and entertaining. An unexpected bonus was free time to explore the beautiful gardens. The giant ficus tree was almost out of a fantasy film! Then the wine tasting with homemade produce was fabulous! The wines were delicious & the accompanying produce added to the experience. We really didn't want leave!

To be able to taste excellent wines in this wonderful place with a great history and to be welcomed with such professionalism and passion, I think it is a real privilege. A sincere thank you to the Pupillo family and staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our hosts were very informative, warm and welcoming. They gave us a guided tour of the facilities and grounds, located on an ancient site with Greek ruins and buildings dating back to the 1200s. The tour concluded with a lovely wine tasting and charcuterie board, all with home-made ingredients! Highly recommend!

The estate tour and wine tasting with food was an otherworldly experience. The winery is a little known shrine of history, culture, art, botanical rarities, tradition and extravagance. I have never been through such an incredible journey through Greek, Roman, Arabic, Medieval, Spanish and modern times. Our guide on site, originally from Sheffield, is a passionate historian and fed us with useful information and several curious facts. Our enologist, Laura, was absolutely brilliant and very knowledgeable about any aspects of the vinification process. Highly recommended at a very reasonable price!

A beautiful winery with beautiful wines. Thank you Laura for the very competent tour. Thank you Carmela for your hospitality and flexibility.

It is important (essential) to book! We only tasted one wine (the only one open apparently) because there was no tasting on the day we visited, which is a shame... I'm still giving it 4 stars because it seems good and the setting is very pleasant.

We experienced the first tour here from Laura, who is doing further training there as part of her oenology studies. She apologized for not being a sommelier, but that was exactly why it was the best tour we've ever had. We have rarely seen someone who does their job with so much passion and who also excels in their specialist knowledge.

We had a guided tour and then a tasting at the end of the day. A place full of history, charm and very good wines, all told with passion by the oenologist Laura. We recommend!!

I visited today with my husband for a tour & wine tasting. The tour was really informative and the grounds are stunning. The wine was good, we walked away with two bottles! We also had a cheese & meat platter with some bread and olive oil. We loved it!

The visit to the Pupillo winery was a wonderful experience. Spectacular location that is perfect for banquets and ceremonies, the owner is kind and helpful and the wines are of great quality. I really appreciated the Ciane, the Damarete and the Solacium. I highly recommend it!

Excellent tasting, with comments from Carmela and Micaela. Remarkable wines, white, rosé and red, and a small lunch with local products. Everything was excellent! But above all, the warm welcome from Carmela and Micaela! A visit to do!

Very suggestive place, both the castle and the botanical garden are worth a visit. We did a wine tasting accompanied by a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, all really excellent. The explanation on the production of wines and the tasting was pleasant. Totally recommended.

We were at the winery today - without registering, but it wasn't a problem. A nice lady told us that she couldn't give a tour/tasting because there was a wedding coming up. Luckily, we were still allowed to try wines and were looked after by a lovely man. Of course, we had to buy some wine. It wasn't a problem to look around the beautiful farm either. Simply gorgeous - apparently a perfect place to get married.

We booked the tour through the tourist office in Siracusa without any great expectations and were absolutely surprised. The owner told us a lot about the winery and the history surrounding it - a must do when visiting Siracusa. At some point you'll see all the old stones anyway :)

After 40 years, passing by, I noticed it only now. An estate well hidden from the chaos. Old structure, beautiful and well maintained. Inside it is possible to organize events. We took some very good red wine in bulk at 2.15 euros per liter.
