The highlight, of course, is the wine tasting at one of the region’s top vineyards. As you sip on exquisite Sicilian wines, you’ll be surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Mount Etna, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

“Top quality would highly recommend - The weather wasn’t great and was snowy and icy which caused some other trips to be cancelled. The cable car was not open due to the weather but our guide Guiseppe helped us organise a quad bike tour which was really fun and I would recommend. It was very well organised. The wine tasting was excellent with 4 wines tasted and olive oil. We were provided with lots of great tasting food so go hungry. We bought lots of wine and oil but there was no pressure to buy. Guiseppe was fun and really knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions and give recommendations of places to eat and places to visit. Thank you Guiseppe you were amazing!” - Reviewed at 2025-01-19
