Outstanding Gambino Winery and Mt. Edna Tour - My recent private tour of Mount Etna, followed by a visit to the Gambino Winery on its eastern slopes, was a truly remarkable experience.
We began with a captivating exploration of Mount Etna. The up-close encounter with the volcano's terrain left me in awe. Our visit to Gambino Winery was equally enchanting. The terraced vineyards and the sommelier's insights into the unique volcanic terroir added depth to our appreciation of the wines. The private tasting session was a highlight, featuring outstanding wines expertly paired with local cheeses and sausages. The flavors were a harmonious delight. This tour offered an intimate, exclusive journey through Sicilian history, geology, and winemaking traditions. It's a must for anyone seeking a memorable and immersive experience.
I highly recommend this tour!

Private tour of Mt Aetna and wine tasting - My husband and I really enjoyed our day with Alessandro. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the region as well as the surrounding vegetation and wine. We learned so much from him and enjoyed a delightful afternoon of wine tasting at Gambino winery.
Would highly recommend!!!
