Overview

We design a tailor-made tour of three different wineries at the foot of the Etna Volcano, listening to your tastes and preferences. We put at your disposal a private driver in a luxury car and we choose with you the best accommodations in the area: the starred restaurants and the most fascinating wine resorts surrounded by vineyards.
We listen to your wishes and make them come true: from visits to the most famous cellars, to personalized tastings, with the possibility of tasting the most iconic labels of each producer.
At your request we will choose one of the three cellars for a local lunch, characterized by typical Sicilian appetizers, a main meal chosen between a first or second course followed by a typical dessert and coffee.

From your requested pick up we will travel to reach one of the most renowned wineries of Etna. The staff of the Cantina Benanti will accompany you through history, climbing the side of Monte Serra, an ancient eruptive cone planted with vineyards, and touching its centenary vines of Nerello Mascelese and Nerello Cappuccio, and then understanding, in the old and majestic Palmento, the customs, traditions and winemaking techniques of our ancestors. Continue the experience by visiting the historic cellar which houses our collection of oil paintings on canvas - and the Bottaia, the place where our red wines are refined, and then immerse yourself in an in-depth tasting of our labels, accompanied by a selection of flavors of our land.
