A wonderful and informative day out - the vineyards were authentic and staff welcoming and the stop off at Castiglione di Sicilia a hidden gem. Would highly recommend.

Full description

Visit 2 traditional Italian wineries on this full-day group tour from Taormina. You’ll be picked up at around 9:00 AM from your accommodation in Taormina and head to Castiglione di Sicilia, a picturesque village that dates from the Medieval era. The wine produced in the Etnean region close to Castiglione is considered the finest in the area. You’ll be absolutely charmed by this town’s ancient architecture and quaint streets.

Stop at your first winery, where you’ll taste locally-produced Etnean wines and an aperitif based on local products. You can also walk along the vineyards and see first-hand the wine grapes and learn about their production.

At the second winery, taste 3 DOP (Protected Denomination of Origin) Etnean wines, paired with a complete lunch based on traditional products. Walk around the winery, see the barrels where the wine you’ve just tasted is stored, and learn more about the wine-making process. Finally, you’ll head home to Taormina at around 5:00 PM.

this wine tour was excellent, it we were picked up promptly from our hotel hy Tony who was a fantastic guide and were part of a group of only 4. Tony was extremely knowledgeable about not only the viticulture but the whole of Sicilian history etc. Very friendly and answered all questions we had with ease. the wine tasting itself was good although I hoped there would be more explanation about each individual wine and "how" to taste them. overall we tried 3 wines at East wine as well as an extra virgin olive oil from each. lunch provided was well thought out to pair with the wines.
