5 out of 5. Our guide, Marco, was fabulous and a very safe driver. So safe in fact that I fell asleep in between vineyards!!

Perfect day. Marco, our guide/driver was awsome. One of the best excursions we’ve ever been on. Beautiful scenery and such cordial/gracious winery staff. ❤️❤️

Terrific experience working first with Pasquale and then our driver Bruno. Toured and tasted 3 completely different wineries that helped me to better understand the breadth and diversity of Sicilian wine and food. Each of the wineries were wonderful hosts. Don’t show up full unless you want to miss out on the unique flavors and food that each winery has to offer. Bruno was fantastic and kept up entertained as we navigated the mountainside between wineries. For those who get car sick, he was an amazingly courteous driver, my wife had no issues. Great tour and people, highly recommend

We had the best time on this tour with our guide Bruno! He was so entertaining and personable. We went to three great wineries, each very different than the other but all excellent wine. If I can come back to Sicily, will definitely be contacting Bruno to be a tour guide for the whole trip! He knows this island!

Good tour. Very convenient way to experience a few vineyards. Had 3 wines per vineyard and some nice food boards accompanying the wine.

Excellent wine tour with Roberto! We visited two small and one larger winery on the north side of Mount Etna. It was an absolutely fantastic experience. Roberto is not only an excellent driver and tour guide, but a wonderful sommelier. The places he planned for us were exactly what we wanted and we could not have been happier. We highly recommend Roberto’s tour to anyone interested in Mt. Etna wines.

Great experience from start to finish. We were picked up by Natalia at our hotel in Taormina. She was so knowledgeable and shared much of both Sicilian history and the history of wine in the Etna area as we made the drive to the first winery. She spoke perfect English and was very easy to understand. We went to 3 wineries (2 small, 1 large). Coming from California we were so impressed with the service at the wineries and the food served with the wine. The third, largest winery was "Gambino". This is a very large place with lots of tour buses and many people. Despite this, we still felt as if we had a private tasting with the sommelier who was working with us at our table for 2. We met the owner who was lovely and made us feel like long time friends! If you enjoy wine, I would highly recommend this tour. It was so interesting to try the wines and taste the influence that the volcano has on the soil, and ultimately the grapes.

Massimo was our guide/driver for our tour and he was simply the best! He made the experience enjoyable and interesting - we all came away with a much better understanding and appreciation of the Sicilian culture, the Mt. Etna region and its fantastic wines. He was professional, engaging, fun and, most of all, knowledgeable. We would highly recommend asking for Massimo! Now onto the wine - a nice mix of wineries was on our itinerary. The first was La Gelsomina - a relatively young winery (2018) that is in collaboration with Tenute Orestiadi and is in a beautiful old farmhouse. We tasted 6 very nice wines with a variety of small plates to enjoy. We were able to walk around the grounds and were given a tour of the beautiful vertical vineyards. The second was Gambino - a large and popular winery on Mt. Etna. Massimo made sure we didn't get lost in the crowd and we received top-notch service from one of the sommeliers. We were seated on a large outdoor covered patio where we enjoyed a multitude of wines with more delicious finger foods. The third (and my personal favorite) was the small winery, Neri, in Linguaglossa. The setting was serene with an open-air tasting room overlooking the vineyards. More beautiful food was served to complement the wines. The woman who provided the tasting was engaging and passionate about their organic process of making wines and their bianco, rosso and rosato were all stunning. We ended up buying some rosato to enjoy during the rest of our trip. A great experience that should not be missed if you're in the Mt. Etna region, love wine and want to learn more about Sicilian wines! Thanks to Massimo for a fun adventure!!

We loved our Etna wine tour! Maurizio was amazing. He is a true historian of all things Sicily and delighted in sharing all his knowledge with us. He was personable and so gracious. We had so much fun and the three wineries that were selected were excellent. We would highly recommend this trip!
