5.00Our Etna tour was absolutely unforgettable. Standing on the Silvestri Craters felt like being on another planet, the power and majesty of Etna are truly breathtaking. The views, the colors, the energy of the volcano… everything was spectacular and beyond our expectations. After exploring the craters, we continued to a wonderful winery at the foot of Etna. The atmosphere was elegant yet authentic, and the tasting was exceptional. Each wine told the story of this unique land, and the quality was simply outstanding. The food pairing made the experience even more memorable. This tour was one of the highlights of our whole trip. Perfectly organized, exciting, and deeply connected to the soul of Sicily. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover the real essence of Etna.
A wonderful Etna tour, truly unforgettable!

A Perfect Mix of Taormina, Etna, Wine & Wonderful Memories

5.00This was one of the most memorable days of our Sicily trip. If you’re into wine, scenery, or just great company, do this tour! We started in Taormina, soaking up that classic hilltop charm, narrow cobbled streets, amazing sea views, and a relaxed vibe that set the tone right away. Then we headed up to Mount Etna, and honestly, being on an active volcano is something else, it’s dramatic, scenic, and totally unforgettable. The winery visit was a highlight. We got a guided tour of the vineyards and cellars, learned about the volcanic soils and local grape varieties, and then enjoyed a tasting session featuring several Etna wines. It was educational but also really fun and relaxed, with the winemaker there to answer questions and share stories. Lunch was unbeatable fresh, seasonal, Sicilian dishes thoughtfully paired with their wines. Walking through the vineyard with a glass in hand, in that setting, was truly special. What made it even better was how well-paced the day felt no rushing, just a lovely flow from each part of the tour. Our guide and driver were friendly, punctual, and clearly knew their stuff. The whole experience felt personal and tailored. Would definitely do it all over again. Ideal for anyone who wants more than just sightseeing, this is a day of storytelling, stunning landscapes, and delicious wine. Highly recommend!

5.00Angela and Salvo took us on a truly wonderful experience that we’ll never forget. The tour at the foot of Mount Etna was the perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, local flavors, and heartfelt storytelling. The winery we visited was absolutely beautiful surrounded by lava-stone vineyards and with stunning views of the volcano. The wine tasting was exceptional, paired with delicious Sicilian food made with love and care. Every sip told a story, every dish brought us closer to the island’s traditions. Angela and Salvo were fantastic hosts: professional, kind, and passionate. They made us feel like guests in their home, not just visitors. If you’re looking for something genuine, intimate, and rich in culture, this is the experience for you. Truly the soul of Sicily, poured into a glass of Etna wine.

A Taste of Authentic Sicily on the Slopes of Mount Etna

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We spent a truly wonderful day exploring the unique landscape of Mount Etna, all perfectly organized by Angela. Visiting the winery was a truly exclusive experience: being right on the slopes of the volcano, surrounded by nature and silence, made it incredibly special. We tasted four excellent wines, each introduced with care and passion. You could really feel the volcanic soil in every sip – the wines were intense, rich, and full of character. The lunch paired with the wines was just as impressive: traditional Sicilian dishes prepared with love and perfectly matched to each wine. Even the drive to the winery was a joy, with beautiful scenery that reminded us how stunning Sicily really is. Thanks to Angela, we were able to experience and taste the soul of this beautiful island. A truly unforgettable day!
