The 3 vineyards we're all slightly different, highlighting the different altitudes and variety of grapes. Patria winery was so majestic and the tour of the facility beautiful and really told the story of the area. Pasquale was amazing for a number of reasons, but mostly for his flexibility ... We needed to reduce the size of our group from 4 to 3 people; Pasquale was very understanding and allowed us to do it last minute. Lena, our driver, was so sweet and by the end of the trip we were telling stories, jokes and exchanging music tastes ... She was family by the end of the day.
I would highly recommend this wine tour, and if I find myself back in the area, I will definitely book a tour with Pasquale again. Thank you Lena and Pasquale!!!!!!

I traveled solo and visited three wineries on Etna with Pasquale, it was a LOVELY experience. The wineries represented a variety of varietals approaches to winemaking, and each was a beautiful place to visit. I was solo and felt very safe, and Pasquale’s partners had other groups, and we ended up chatting and taking photos for each other outdoors at a couple of the stops which was also quite nice. The wine was so wonderful, everything I had hoped for in my visit. I also asked for Pasquale to pick me up in Taormina and drop me off at another hotel on the beach and he accommodated me with no problem. And to compare, I had emailed my hotel to visit just one winery and the price they quoted me was the same to just go to that one and return. I’d recommend this tour to anyone traveling alone or in a group. I’ve done a lot of wine tastings and tours and I’d do this one again for sure, and I found some wine I really loved that I am planning to buy more of!

I booked a semi-private tour for a visit to 3 Etna wineries and it was a superb experience. Nadia coordinated by email and it was smooth and easy, she was responsive and accommodating. Marco was our driver for the day and he was fabulous, friendly and engaging.
Each of the 3 wineries was a different experience as they were varying in size from large, medium and small family run wineries. The pace was comfortable, Marco kept us on schedule but we never felt rushed.
Each visit was 3-5 wines sampled which they were all happy to top up if you enjoyed a certain wine. At 2 of the wineries I asked to taste some additional wines not on the original list and they were happy to oblige.
The food/snacks at each visit were all tasty including local cheeses, olive oils, breads and charcuterie. No full meals but more than enough to sustain you.
I would absolutely do another tour with Prestelli.

Incredible experience. Pasquale is a very nice and upbeat person. He took us to the best wineries. From the moment he picked us up it was clear that he had the entire day in perfect control. He is always professional and also fun. We really enjoyed the wine and food and the cellar tours. Pasquale even sent us several pictures from the day of fun that we had together. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The communication was great - I asked Pasquale to arrange to have a cake for my girlfriend's birthday ... he made sure that at every destination there was a cake and everyone sang. He made me look like a hero! Thank you Pasquale!!!

Can’t say enough good things about Prestelli Tours and our day wine tasting in Mt Etna. We visited 3 wineries with our friendly guide Marco. We are from California and have traveled to many wine countries. Sicily and their wines are very hospitable and varied. Particularly love the whites and the Spumante. The day we went it was a bit overcast but the views from the wineries are spectacular. When do you ever get a chance to taste wine in the shadow of an active volcano!

We had such a good experience with Pasquale, Maurizio, at the Wineries we visited.
They are very professional but also really friendly, we immediately felt comfortable taking a long ride from Catania to the Wineries and back.
Maurizio has such a great knowledge and he really likes to tell you everything about Sicily, culture and answer any questions you like to know.
At the wineries we felt very comfortable as well, with plenty of delicious wine (I never tested anything like Etna Rosso or Passito before) and plenty cheese , olives , olive oil and sausage/cold cuts/salami .
Such a good taste and social experience. From now on I’m a real fan of wine, in particular Sicily Etna wine and olive oil.
I would recommend it to everyone who likes to taste wine , get to know Sicily and likes to socialize. Thank you so much for this great experience.
I will tell so many friends and Familie members about this and I hope you are doing well in the future.
Cheers

We organised a private tour of the wineries of Etna and we were thoroughly impressed from the start. We were driven very carefully by Marco to each winery, together with a fascinating and informative commentary of Sicily and its history.
We were extremely lucky to have private tours of the wineries, as guests were few because of COVID. The choice of wineries was fantastic, each being different in both setting and wine offering. The combination of food with the wine was delectable and there was no limit to the amount of wine able to be ‘tasted’!
The best aspect of our day was our tour guide, Marco. As well as having excellent English and keeping us informed and entertained throughout the day, he also allowed us to spend as much time at each winery as we had liked. Marco urged us to stay and enjoy ourselves and, having been on many tours before, this was a refreshing and welcoming change. Marco was a thoroughly charming gentleman and the winery tour proved to be one of the best days of our Sicilian getaway. We cannot wait to do it again!

Easily booked tour through Prestilli website. Our driver and VERY knowledgeable tour guide was Roberto. He is a local and heavily involved in regional wine production; you can tell. We toured three EXCELLENT wineries and received 1st class service. It wasn't overwhelming or stuffy but definitely classy service experienced. I would definitely request our next tour with Roberto and recommend you do the same. A professional that is very proud of the region. Also, we live in Europe and purchased wine at every stop. All wine arrived in one piece and just as delicious as we remember :).

My husband and I did a wonderful private wine tour with Roberto during our honeymoon in Sicily. Roberto took us to 3 vineyards, all which were unique and different from each other. At the first two we were the only guests which was a wonderful opportunity for a deep dive with the wine makers to get all of our questions answered. The third was a popular and lively vineyard where we closed out with a generous spread of Sicilian meats and cheeses. The tastings at all 3 vineyards were excellent (and generous as well). Roberto's passion for Sicily really shone through as he told us in depth about Sicilian wine making. He was also SO generous with his time- we were driving in from another town that morning and ended up starting the tour an hour later than planned but there was never any rush to "catch up" for lost time.

We had booked the private Etna wine tasting tour from home before we started our travel and the communication with Pasquale, from the tour operator, as well later on with Maurizio, our guide, went very well in English.
On the day of the tour we got picked up in the morning by Maurizio, a very kind, open minded and knowledgeable person, at our B&B and started off to a fantastic full day culinary and cultural adventure. We got a lot of good explanations along the way and at each of the three wineries we visited, we were welcomed by great staff who explained us a lot about the specifics of growing wine around Etna, the manufacturing process and other interesting topics. The wine tastings at each winery, accompanied by some very tasty Sicilian snacks and bites, were organized very well and happened in a nice and stressless atmosphere (we did the tour on a week day and the wineries were not crowded, cannot comment how it would be like on a weekend).
So all in all a very nice day to remember and we would once again thank Maurizio and Pasquale for that. If you are wine and food lover, it is highly recommended to do this tour.

Hi,
Starting in Taromina around 11 am, we'd like to visit the two best wineries in the Mt Etna area. We'd also like to have lunch (or charcuterie) at the wineries. It would be so appreciated if we visited only the top producers...as we'd like to taste and discover only the very best in the region. There are four adults in our group. What would you suggest for this customized tour?

Hello JMTtwice, thank you for your question!
The wineries may vary depending on the tour date. Also, as we collaborate with almost all Etna wineries, you can write us an e-mail with the wineries you would like to visit, and we would be glad to arrange accordingly.
Grazie!

Taormina, Italy63 contributions
Hi Carolboobeach,
Thank you very much for your question!
I'm afraid, there won't be enough time for the tour of Mt Etna and 2 wineries, because a pickup would be at 9am, and we would have to be back at the port by 4pm.
Mt Etna + 1 winery or 3 Etna wineries without ascent to the Rifugio Sapienza would work in the timeframe set.
Best regards,
Nadia

Hi. We will be staying in Taormina for 3 days. We definitely want to tour and see Mt Etna. If we sign up for your tour, should we separately also book something to just visit Etna? Or do you think that this wine tour will provide us with enough exposure to Etna?
Nadezelina
Taormina, Italy63 contributions
Hi KS12-Chicago,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Tour of three Etna wineries takes about 6-7 hours, and I'm afraid there would not be enough time to visit Mt Etna on the same day.
We could either schedule the tours on two separate days, or organize a tour combining tour of Mt Etna with visit of 2 Etna wineries.
Please feel free to contact us by e-mail, and we would be glad to arrange a tour in accordance with your wishes.
Grazie!
Best regards,
