The Scilio estate has crafted wines since 1815, using traditional methods to capture the region's distinctive character in every bottle.

What to expect

Then comes the tasting: you'll sample several Etna DOC wines, learning what makes volcanic soil and altitude matter here. Lunch follows, properly matched to what you've tasted, with time to sit and absorb the landscape.
