DESCRIPTION

We will pick you up directly from your accommodation to accompany you on a discovery of the wines of the DOC Etna.

During the first stop of our tour, we will visit Tenuta Monte Gorna in Trecastagni, a family-run company whose passion for the land and wine has been passed down for three generations.

Between a walk among the rows of vines, cultivated with native Etna varieties, and the guided tour of the winery, we will discover the ancient rural culture of Etna viticulture and taste 3 wines accompanied by traditional Sicilian gastronomic products.

The destination of the second stop on our tour is Tenuta Mannino di Plachi in Viagrande, a historic family-run estate that has represented the fair expression of the Etna territory and its peculiarities for six generations.

The experience includes a pleasant walk among the vineyards located on the typical Etna terraces, during which we will learn about the family’s history and the charming and traditional territory, the native grape varieties, and cultivation techniques. The tasting includes 4 wines paired with typical gastronomic specialties from the region, coming from a cuisine with peasant roots but re-elaborated in a contemporary way.

For the last stop on our tour, we return to the village of Trecastagni to visit the Azienda Agricola Biondi, a family tradition since 1800. We will listen to their story while enjoying the beautiful location. We will taste two wines accompanied by freshly baked bread made with ancient flour.
