About this tour

You'll walk through vineyards with views across to the Ionian Sea, taste five wines paired with local cheeses and vegetables at the first cellar, then sit down to a full lunch at the second where the wines are chosen to complement each course. Transport, water, and all tastings included.

What to expect
Your driver collects you for the drive to the first estate, where you'll stroll the vineyards on foot before settling into a tasting room. Five Etna wines arrive with accompaniments—the cheese and vegetable pairings show how locals eat here. After an hour or so, you move to the second cellar. Lunch unfolds unhurried: each course timed to arrive with its matching wine. You'll see where and how these wines are made, and staff will explain what sets Etna apart. The whole experience is designed to feel like a leisurely afternoon with knowledgeable hosts, not a tick-box tour.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for vineyard walking. Bring sunscreen and a hat. If you're driving yourself, don't—private transport is included. The pace is genuinely relaxed, so don't plan anything immediately after. Service animals welcome; infant seats available on request.
