    Full Description

    Your wonderful day exploring the Etna wine region begins when you are picked up at your hotel or port of call and taken on a scenic drive through the beautiful Sicilian countryside, comfortably seated in a luxury vehicle with your friendly driver.

    We have meticulously selected the most intimate and exclusive winery estates for this private chauffeured wine tour, during which you'll learn about a wine many consider to be the most exciting discovery of recent times.

    During the tour of the first wine estate, you will learn about the organoleptic characteristics and the ancient growing techniques of the native grape varieties traditionally cultivated on the slopes of Etna, between 350 and 1100 meters above sea level. Once understood all the variables that play a key role in the production of such unique whites and reds, such as climate, soil, pronounced shifts between day and night temperatures, your wine tasting accompanied by local specialties will begin.

    Your Etna wine tour continues with a visit of another exceptional boutique winery with stunning views over Taormina and the Ionian sea. Here, the tasting of more elegant, bone-dry wines that showcase freshness, subtle aromatics and minerality will be hosted by the owner who will also tell you about the family's philosophy and all the traditions that have been handed down for generations.

    The scenic road to reach the top rated wineries runs through spectacular vineyards, amazing alpine vegetation and small beautiful medieval villages. A stroll in a lovely town at the foothills of Etna is a popular activity amongst our clients to end a gorgeous day of wine tasting.
