This was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, Giovanni, was an exceptional guide with a vast knowledge and a delightful sense of humor. The vineyard (Palmento Costanza) visited was probably the most beautiful vineyard I’ve ever been to followed by an amazing lunch at Da Antonio. We and the other couples were having so much fun that we didn’t want the experience to end! I highly recommend it.
Antonio made this experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we were picked up, he shared a beautiful narrative of Sicily’s history, culture, and landscape on the drive to Palmento Costanzo. The vineyard itself was stunning and impeccably maintained, and the wine tasting was excellent, paired with a delicious selection of cheeses. We ended the day with an authentic local lunch featuring an abundance of appetizers, pasta, and more wine. Antonio was truly exceptional. Highly, highly recommend.
Excellent. Beautiful countryside ride and explanation of a working vineyard. Our guide Giuseppe was grear
Great veiw, great experience seeing the wine making process. Amazing tasting of wines and food. Dennise was very knowledgeable and professional.
A great day out with beautiful views around the vineyards and lovely food and wine. We highly recommend this trip
This wine tasting touring was awesome. It was around a hour drive with beautiful views from Taormina where we were staying. Our tour guide, Orazio, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel easy. Gave us great background on the area, the wine, and Mount Etna without making it feel like a lecture. The wineries were beautiful, the wine was incredible, and the views around Etna were unreal. Could not recommend this experience enough. If you’re in Sicily and enjoy a little bit of drinking, this is absolutely worth doing.
Excellent guide who took good care of us and told interesting stories. The places were interesting, food and wines were good
The ride from Taormina in the van was pleasant and took around an hour. Giovanni was amazing and shared so much information about Etna and the local area. The visit to the winery was very relaxed in a beautiful setting. Lunch at Antonio's was equally as relaxing. This was a small group tour with 8 of us. This is a perfect way to spend learning about Etna wines with a great meal and pleasant company. Thanks to Giovanni for making this a special day for my family.
Great trip to a small vineyard in the Etna countryside. Roads were good, not too twisty. The vineyard was beautiful and very tranquil. We had a short talk and guided tour of the vineyard followed by a wine tasting with some Sicilian snacks. Lunch was 10 minutes down the road in a country restaurant - Italian starters, followed by black pig pasta, lemon cake, coffee and wine of course! Big shout out to our guide Antonio who was both knowledgeable and friendly and spoke excellent English. Liked the small group of only 8 people too.
We had a fabulous day! Antonio, our guide, was brilliant. He shared lots of information with us on the journey to the vineyard. So knowledgeable about the island and its history. The vineyard was beautiful and we really enjoyed the wine tasting. Our lunch was in a nearby rural restaurant and was very enjoyable. There were 8 of us on the tour and we really enjoyed the company. A great day out. Would highly recommend.
