What to expect
You'll start in Catania's bustling central market, where the sommelier walks you through four wines born from the region's volcanic terroir. Each glass comes with a thoughtfully prepared morsel—olives, cheese, cured meat, or local produce—selected to highlight what makes that wine distinctive. The sommelier explains the geology behind the flavours: how pumice and lava rock impart mineral notes you won't find elsewhere. It's less formal tasting room, more working market conversation. Expect energy, genuine local products, and the chance to ask questions as you go.
