Wonderful food and wine tasting in the Sicily countryside around Mt. Etna! Loved our guide Denise. Gambino winery served wine paired with local cheeses, breads, eggplant, and olive oil (which they also produce and sell). Meal at a local restaurant in the country was delicious.

Antonio was a great guide/host for the small group Countryside wine and food tour on Mt Etna. He has knowledge of the area and Sicily. The wine tasting and food matching At Gambino vineyard was fun. A few tour groups mixed together here at the vineyard but then separated again off on own different tours, the Gambino Vini staff have a real passion for their Sicilian wine. We hit the road and off for a beautiful Sicilian lunch held at a restaurant and guest house. Good to see the lower parts of Mt Etna, a great tour with a small group of only 6 of like minded people. Really enjoyed the whole 6 hours.
