What to expect

Nestled between the city of Catania and Mount Etna, your tour begins with a leisurely stroll through urban vineyards. This is a great urban trekking experience, where you'll encounter rare dry-stone buildings, an urban forest and an olive grove. For the younger explorers, your guide provides treasure maps to add an extra layer of excitement.

Next, delve into the heart of Sicilian wine culture with a visit to the 18th-century Palmento. Among the largest and best preserved in the area, this traditional winery still boasts its original chestnut wood barrels and a grape pressing machine dating back to 1790 - a rare jewel indeed. Here, you'll also get a glimpse into the family history through stories from ancestor’s diaries.

Finally, embark on a tasting journey across the contemporary Etna culinary landscape. Savour wines from four different wineries around the volcano, each expertly paired with a gourmet bite prepared by the resident chef. As you relax in the courtyard or garden with views of Etna, you'll realise that this isn’t just a tour – it's a feast for all senses, offering an unforgettable wine tourism experience.
