Discover the Wine Paradise of Sicily filled with flavor 🍷🍇🧀🌿🌞 Tailor-made Wine Tours, Tastings and Sicily Travel Experiences!

We started in the south, in the Val di Noto heartland around Pachino - white limestone soils, olive groves, almond trees, and a heat that hits differently. This is the hottest corner of Sicily, yet the wines - Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Grillo, Moscato - are alive with freshness and personality. The terroir never stops surprising you.

Then north to la muntagna. 🌋 A boutique winery on Etna’s northern slope, volcanic soils that carry centuries of memory, and a km0 lunch that did exactly what a good Sicilian lunch should - slowed everything down and made us stay longer than planned. The wines here have a complexity and a depth that gets under your skin. You leave with a connection to this place that’s hard to explain and impossible to forget.

That’s what these tours are built for. Not just tasting wine - understanding where you are, who made it, and why it matters.

Emails can wait - Sicily can’t.

This one’s from in Pachino, deep in the south, where the heat is relentless and the wines somehow stay fresh. Their Moscato Bianco isn’t the sweet, simple stuff you’re picturing. It’s textured, saline, properly Mediterranean - orange blossom, aromatic herbs, hay, citrus mix and sea air in a glass.

Sometimes the most productive thing you do all day is pour yourself a glass and call it research.

Let’s plan your dream trip to Sicily 🌋✨

I’ve lived here 15 years. I know this island like the back of my hand - the boutique wineries, the hidden trattorias, the producers who don’t make the guidebooks. Finding those places is my mission. Sharing them is my favorite part.

A tasting at my favorite tiny wine bar. A cooking class with a talented local chef in a Baroque-driven town. A wine tour through Etna led by me, personally. A food&culture tour through Sicily’s most iconic sites. Whatever shape your trip takes, I’ll make it unforgettable.

Reach out today. 🍷

Day 3 of my Etna press tour with Strada del Vino e dei Sapori dell'Etna ✨🍷

🌋 Cottanera - Three generations. One of Etna’s most commanding estates.
Perched at 650m in Castiglione di Sicilia, Cottanera has been shaped by the Cambria family since the 1960s - now in the hands of siblings Mariangela, Francesco and Emanuele, with women at the heart of both vineyard and hospitality from the very beginning.
Across the northern slope, 65 hectares of Nerello Mascalese, Carricante and Catarratto grow alongside international varieties - a range that moves fluently between volcanic terroir and cosmopolitan confidence.

And if you’re spending the night on the northern slope, their Dimora Cottanera is the most bucolic place on the mountain to rest your head.
🌋 Palmento Costanzo Etna Wine - a 19th-century palmento in Santo Spirito, Passopisciaro - one of Etna’s greatest Contrade - restored by Mimmo and Valeria Costanzo with a single rule: preserve everything.
The Palmento feels like a living document of the mountain’s past. And then the cellar surprises with contemporary approach - steel tanks adapted to the spaces , large oak barrels, egg-shaped 2,000-litre vessels keeping the lees in constant motion. Century-old vines, Single-contrada crus, each a distinct portrait of Etna. And a new tasting room as warm and generous as the hospitality of Valeria and Serena Serena Costanzo .

🌋 Tenuta Ferrata
Land bought for a golf court. Transformed - after loss, after reflection - into the wine production land.
At 650m in Castiglione di Sicilia: hazelnut groves, rocky soils, a late-19th-century villa, ancient rural cottages. And running straight through the vineyards - the Circumetnea railway, circling the volcano since 1895.
That’s where the name of the winery comes from.

First vintage 2019. Evolving, fast. Each bottle hand-labelled in tempera by Sandra Virlinzi. The wines have vivid charm and a tension that makes them impossible to put down.

There are many ways to explore Etna. And then there’s this one. 🚂

The Circumetnea railway line has been threading its way around the volcano since 1895 - built to connect the port of Riposto to the towns of the north, it cuts right through the heart of the vineyards. Board at Linguaglossa, and for the next stretch you’re moving through lava-stone walls, ancient fruit orchards, and row after row of alberello vines, watching the landscape do what only Etna does.

We disembarked in Randazzo - one of Sicily’s most fascinating medieval towns, untouched by lava and quietly extraordinary. A walking tour of its dark volcanic-stone streets, and an obligatory stop at Giovanna Musumeci for what I’ll stand behind as the finest granita on the island. Then the wine exploration began.

First, GRACI, ETNA in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo - where Elena walked us through their monumental historical palmento and into a cellar that feels like architecture as philosophy. She even put me through a blind tasting of an older vintage Carricante from Contrada Arcuria. I loved every second of it.

Then Cantine Russo in Contrada Crasà, Gina Russo - together with her brother Francesco is the co-owner of the family winery, and the president of Strada del Vino e dei Sapori dell'Etna - hosted us for a homemade lunch paired with their wines and a walk through the vines. The kind of lunch that reminds you why you fell in love with this place.

Finally, Terrazze dell'Etna The estate, affectionately named after the numerous terraces, spans a 1,000 ft. vertical climb following the eastern edge of the 1981 lava flow. A tasting in their cozy room - with a deep dive into their sparkling wines from Chardonnay and Pinot that genuinely surprised and delighted.

This is the Treno dei Vini dell'Etna experience. Volcano, wine, medieval history, the best granita of your life. It runs Monday to Saturday, by reservation through Strada del Vino e dei Sapori dell'Etna , and it is a full day that earns its place on any Etna itinerary. 🌋🥂🔐

Benanti, Etna’s pioneer.
Few wineries carry the weight of history quite like BENANTI Winery . Founded in 1988 by Giuseppe Benanti in Viagrande - though the family’s winemaking roots stretch back to the late 1800s - it remains the only estate with vineyards on all four slopes of the Etna DOC. North, south-east, south-west, east: each one a different conversation between volcanic soil and sky.
Walking the centuries-old vines on Monte Serra, a small extinct volcano, past the ancient Palmento once used to press these same grapes, you feel the continuity of place. Today, brothers Antonio and Salvino carry their father’s torch with the same quiet conviction - 100% native varieties, Carricante and Nerellos, nothing borrowed, nothing imposed.

On this visit, in a precious company of Salvino Benanti , we moved through some of the estate’s most celebrated bottles - 🍾✨
•Metodo classico XLVIII Noblesse Brut Carricante 2018
•Pietramarina Etna Bianco Superiore 18, a pure, age-worthy 100% Carricante of tremendous aging potential and a selection of Contrada wines that combine elegance, depth, texture and contemporary taste:
•Rovitello Etna Rosso Riserva Alberello Centenario 2018
•Serra della Contessa 2012
•Rovitello Etna Rosso 2011
that reminded me why this mountain keeps drawing the world’s best palates. Paired with exceptional cuisine from the resident chefs, amid the hush of the estate, it was exactly the kind of moment that’s impossible to forget.
For the iconic Etna wine experience look no further! 💥

Strada del Vino e dei Sapori dell'Etna

10/06/2026

Every time I set foot on Mount Etna 🌋, I feel an unmistakable surge of energy. There is something profoundly magnetic about this landscape - a place in constant transformation, where nature reminds us that growth and evolution are never-ending.

And so, I find myself here once again, sharing the rich identity and remarkable complexity of Etna’s wine culture with the world, this time as a guest of Strada Del Vino dell'Etna on a dedicated press tour.

From the rugged northern contrade to the sun-drenched southern slopes of Europe’s highest and most active volcano, Etna’s wine story is nothing short of extraordinary. Just three decades ago, there were only around 15 wineries on the mountain. Today, that number has grown to more than 400, a testament to the global fascination with this singular terroir.

Over the coming days, I’ll be visiting some of Etna’s historical estates. Follow along as we explore one of the world’s most exciting wine destinations.
