Catania · ETNA WINE TASTING TOURS FROM CATANIA
20 reviewed
The vineyards on Etna’s slopes grow in black volcanic soil, and the wines taste like nowhere else in Sicily. These tastings pair a cellar visit with the mountain: which serve lunch among the vines, how many wines you try, which add a crater stop, and what each costs with transport from Catania.

Small-group Mt. Etna and wine day from Catania with lava caves, crater trekking, helmets, and a hearty Enoteca tasting.
“This was a great trip all around. Lorenzo was a fantastic guide and provided great information and warm and friendly demeanor. The vistas at Etna were fantastic as was learning about eruptions , the fertile soil and more. The wine at the winery was really lovely and healthy pours—more like a flight! The food accompaniment was delicious and hearty so come hungry. One note for the company was that I was staying in an area closed to vehicles for hire so I wasn’t actually going to be picked up right at the hotel. It was still close and no problem; Lorenzo got us all sorted.”
