Etna winery tour
Vines on lava, Nerello Mascalese and Carricante: winery visits and tastings all around Etna, from the north slope to the south, with a driver who picks you up and takes you back.
Tell us the day, how many you are, where you start from and which area you are curious about: we organise the tour with the wineries and a licensed NCC driver. That way nobody in your group drives after the tasting.
Etna DOC wraps around the volcano on three sides: the north slope with its contrade between Linguaglossa and Randazzo, the east slope facing the sea, and the southern villages above Catania. Bush-trained vines on lava-stone terraces, up to a thousand metres and more.
In the form, pick one or more areas, or leave the choice to us. We reply with a proposal and the price for your group. If you have preferences (a particular winery, lunch at the winery, whites or reds) write them in your message.
Tastings are for adults only.
Where we go
North slopeRandazzo · Passopisciaro · Solicchiata · Castiglione di Sicilia · Linguaglossa
The best-known part of Etna DOC: the contrade along the road between Linguaglossa and Randazzo, with bush-trained vines on lava-stone terraces. Here Nerello Mascalese gives the volcano's best-known reds.
East slopeMilo · Sant'Alfio · Zafferana Etnea · Santa Venerina
The slope facing the sea, and the rainiest: this is Carricante country, and Etna Bianco Superiore can only be made from Milo grapes.
South and south-west slopesTrecastagni · Viagrande · Nicolosi · Belpasso · Biancavilla · Santa Maria di Licodia
Vines among extinct craters and the villages above Catania, out to the sunny hills towards Biancavilla: the area closest to the city and the airport.
