Catania, Taormina, Messina: 3 Etna Wineries Tour & Tasting – Catania, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Your personal guide will pick you up from your hotel/ port and you will start your wonderful tour around the top Etna wineries.
Driving by comfortable, air-conditioned car or minivan through the small authentic mountain villages, you will admire unforgettable picturesque views of the Sicilian countryside full of oranges and lemon plantations, olives and almond trees, houses and churches built of lava stone.

The Mount Etna eruptions feed the soil, and that is why this region is considered to be one of the best in the world for growing grapes and wine production.
You will visit the three best wineries at the Etna slopes. Wines from these wineries are on the top lists of premium international wine associations. 
The first venue will be a family-run winery, world-famous for its outstanding wines. Here, you will be welcomed by the owner with a glass of an awesome white wine aperitif.
Sipping refreshing wine, you will have a guided tour around the estate, after which you will visit the cellars where the owner or your private sommelier will explain to you the wine production process.
Finally, you will sit at a wonderful terrace with a breathtaking view of mountains and Ionian coastline, and with your personal sommelier, start your food and wine tasting.

With a professional sommelier, you will taste 4 brilliant red, rose and white wines of the region.
