    Absolutely fantastic trip from the moment we were picked up until we were left off. Nice mixed crowd of friendly people on the trip and Carlo the guide was so friendly and informative. His English and knowledge was superb! The visit to the Gambino winery really exceeded our expectations. The sommelier clearly knew what he was talking about and the wine and food were off the scale! The visit to the farm for lunch was again such a great experience. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough!

    The host was excellent – helpful, friendly and knowledgable. The food was delicious and the wine was varied and flowing! As a vegan, I thought I would have very limited options but I was catered for wonderfully.

    From start to finish our trip was fantastic. Denise was a wonderful tour guide with endless knowledge on the area and broader Sicily! The winery was more than gracious with their tasting, and they were delicious wines. Lunch was fantastic as well. Highly recommend to all who want to spend a day in the beautiful Etna countryside.

  8. Susan_W

    The guide was very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and knew how to keep the tour moving at the perfect pace. the winery is beautiful and the grounds spectacular.

  9. Susie_S

    Carlos was a knowledgeable, friendly guide, with great driving skills in Taormina’s small, narrow, curvy streets, even before going up the hills of Etna to the wineries. The tour went to two beautiful spots: a winery and an agriturismo for lunch. All in all a fun day.

  10. Steve_C

    This has to be one of the best trips ever! There was nothing that Antonio our wonderful guide did not know about wine making on Etna.
    The visit to the Gambino vinyard was fantastic, with an excellent selection of wine/ cheese/ olives/ bread to taste.
    The staff at the vinyard were also brilliant and new their stuff!
    The typical Sicilian restaurant visit in the afternoon for a delicious lunch was also a real treat.
    The other guests of Simi and Stephanie and Chloe and Jamie were also the perfect company for a fab day out!
    If you go on one trip, make it this one.
    “Grazie Antonio,ci rivediamo!”

    Wine tasting at the Gambino Winery was a real treat. Lovely wines and a beautiful place. Our guide for the day was very knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious too.

  12. Cliff_D

    We had a great day. Our guide Denise was excellent, very knowledgeable and great personality. The Gambino Vineyard did a great tour and the wines were excellent. We would recommend this tour.

  13. Victoria_S

    We had a great time ! Our guide was great ! He told us a lot about history of Sicily and wine . The wine tasting was fun and we had plenty of snacks and a nice lunch.

  14. Art_C

    Our guide Antonio was excellent, with so much good information about the Taormina area, the wines, and agriculture. The Gambino winery provided a very nice pairing of food and their wines.( US travelers, beware that not all states will accept wines shipped from Sicily. ) I would recommend this tour!

    We had gone on this tour pre pandemic & it was memorable so we were excited to share the experience with our friends. It was a disappointment. Our driving guide was wonderful but the tour at the Gambini Winery was so disappointing. The Gambini spokesman droned on and on about the grapes etc… nothing useful to remember… almost 45 minutes before we got to the tasting. The the previous time the spokes person explained the pairing with each wine… this time the Gambini person jumbled all the information at once so none of it was useful. There was no personal touch … just another tour group. The first time we experienced 3 wineries this time only one. The lunch was ok.

  16. Peter_C

    What a wonderful day we spent at the winery on Mt Etna! The wines and food were amazing… and the people we met along the way so engaging. Highly recommend!

  17. Roger_A

    Our guide, Orazio, is very engaging and informative. The scenery is spectacular helping make for a memorable day.

  18. Lori_D

    our small group was so friendly! denise our tour guide was exceptional. Her knowledge of the area and the wine was awesome.

  19. Tiffany_Y

    This tour was fantastic, and the highlight of our time in Taormina. Orazio is an excellent tour guide—he was thoughtful, engaging, informative, and fun, and took the time to explain everything to us about Etna and the surrounding area, as well as general life and customs in Sicily. We loved the winery (the location is stunning) and the restaurant we went for lunch was the best meal we’ve had on our trip so far. The group size is perfect, and we loved getting to know the other travelers. Length of the tour is also great—not too long, but not too short. Would highly recommend.

  20. SANNIE_M

    I enjoyed this tour very much. If I could have done anything differently, I would have just done the first part of the tour which was the Gambino winery tour. The second part was an additional 40 minute drive and felt really out of the way to go just for the food. The food, however, was fantastic. The driver was very friendly, and when she found my cell phone I accidentally dropped in the van, she made sure to find me and return it to me which I really appreciated.

  21. Alyssa_P

    The tour was great! The wineries we visited were beautiful and the restaurant we went to was delicious. Both places had great food, wine, and ambience. Carlos was excellent and very knowledgeable in the areas. He was very nice and easy to talk to! Loved the tour and would recommend to anyone visiting Taormina.
