Perfect Taste of Sicily - After an amazing hike through the foothills of Mount Etna, we drove past a herd of sheep to get to Barbara’s house, nestled next to a winery.
Barbara was able to prepare us a meal from ingredients local to the neighborhood, including a ricotta from the flock of sheep we passed on the way in. Every course was accompanied by an Etna wine that blew the last one away.
Barbara’s cooking was only outmatched by her hospitality. She even made a special plain pasta for our savage 10 year old son.

Perfect Sicilian welcome. - Lovely day visiting Barbara in on her beautiful mountainside retreat, learning to cook the Sicilian way in her outdoor kitchen and enjoying vineyard views with Etna wine. Highly recommended.

Wonderful meal and wine in a beautiful vineyard - My wife, Ann-Marie, and I had a wonderful visit with Barbara at the vineyard in Milo. The tour of the vineyard and the incredible lunch were the highlight of our visit to Sicily. The multi-course meal and the pairings with local wines were excellent. The lodge and patio overlooking the farm is a beautiful and romantic setting. Barbara is a great cook and prepared a really tasty meal with many local ingredients. My grandparents were from the villages around Etna including Milo and this was a nice homecoming.

Kapitzki Family from Dubai - It was a wonderful experience; eating Sicillian food, learning about olive oil and wine production as well as seeing Mt Etna in the background of the vineyard. The food prepared were original Sicillian recipes that can be accommodated to any dietary restrictions - in our case we picked vegetarian. All courses tasted delectable! Both the red wine and the white wine tasted unique since they were grown on Mt Etna. In fact most ingredients used for everything came from Mt Etna. The scenery alongside was breathtaking and of course our host made us feel at home, adding all to an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Thank you!!!

Spectacular lunch to conclude our Mt. Etna tour - Our 4 course tasting lunch with local wine pairing was nothing short of excellent. The visit started with a tour of Barbara’s beautiful orchard and vineyard, an easy stroll where she shared her wealth of knowledge of the area and agriculture. The setting for the lunch was stellar - on her back patio overlooking the orchards and vineyards with an impeccably set table. Each course was light, fresh, completely homemade and the ingredients were locally sourced. The wine pairings were also perfect and available for bottle sale if desired. Most of all, Barbara was warm and engaging and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing - a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and learn about this beautiful area.

A truly amazing day, with our family at Barbara's home - We did a tasting and lunch two years ago and came back this year for a cooking class, vineyard tour and a beautiful, delicious lunch which we helped prepare. The views are amazing, Barbara is amazing, so warm and inviting, we had a beautiful day at her home.

Do not miss this lunch/wine tasting!!! - We had the most incredible lunch at Barbara's vineyard! She gave us a tour of the farm, and then served a lunch where none of the ingredients came from more than a mile away! Most she grew herself, and the recipes were her own. Most important were the love infused in the food! And of course the wines matched the menu perfectly! In the end, Barbara was family! She also has other options, like hiking, glamping, and Etna tours. She was the high point of our trip to Sicily!

Wine Tasting Extraordinaire! - The wine tasting experience far exceeded my expectations! Barbara is an excellent host and touring the vineyards increased my awareness of the differences in growing grapes on a mountain in Sicily surrounded in volcanic ash and how grapes are grown in California. The lunch she served was perfectly paired with very fine white and red wines. The food she prepared was incredible! Five courses and I left nothing on any of the platters. This experience was enhanced by the fact that I was the center of Barbara's attention and not part of a large group.

Unforgettable Sicily experience - Wonderful private vineyard tour, wine tasting and cooking class on the slopes of Mt. Etna. Barbara is a warm, charming and knowledgeable host. The food was delicious, with a strong focus on local produce. The weather was perfect so we had lunch on the terrace with a magnificent view of the vines, Mt. Etna and the sea. This was the best part of our Italy trip so far. Do not hesitate to reserve.
