Etna DOC wine tasting with Sicilian specialties

What you will experience

The tasting begins on an elegant terrace overlooking rows of vines that produce Etna Bianco and Etna Rosso DOC. The sommeliers introduce you to Etna's unique terroir — soils built by centuries of eruptions, rich in minerals, that give these wines their acidity and salinity — then guide you through four wines, from crisp volcanic whites to structured reds.

Each wine arrives with a Sicilian dish designed to highlight it. Between tastings there is time for the view, the stories of the grapes — Carricante, Nerello Mascalese — and a walk through the vineyard itself, on the volcano's eastern slope famous for Etna Bianco Superiore.

We had an amazing hike with Vincenzo up to the craters on Mt. Etna! He is a volcanologist and is very knowledgeable, so we learned a lot about what we were seeing! After our enjoyable hike, we were driven to a local winery for a very delicious lunch and wine tasting. We had a wonderful, memorable time on this tour and would highly recommend it!

Con Vincenzo abbiamo fatto il trekking sui crateri a bottoniera e poi degustazione di vini prodotti sulle pendici dell'Etna in una cantina a Milo. Vincenzo è molto simpatico e preparato, si vede che svolge il suo lavoro con passione. Le sue spiegazioni sono state molto interessanti ed esaustive senza mai essere noiose.

Etna is mesmerising and wonderful and Vincenzo is the best possible guide for experiencing this utterly beautiful mountain. He is so friendly, knowledgable and passionate about this region and very clear in explaining the natural process. Everyone in our group of 7 thought his personality, knowledge and guidance were a 10/10. Cannot recommend him more highly!

Could not recommend Vincenzo more highly. Everything from communication ahead of time, flexibility and advice around our options given weather and volcanic activity, to the trip itself. Vincenzo was knowledgeable and passionate about Mount Etna, was great with the kids, and gave us a memorable day out. It is the clear highlight of our trip.

Amazing guide! Very kind and caring, gave us jackets and boots because we went to the top of the Etna and it was a cold day. He led us on paths where other groups didn't go and gave us some freedom that only comes in small groups that he is leading. I loved that personal touch and would recommend Vincenzo anytime with great confidence.
