Additional Information

This tour allows you to take in a mix of awe and trepidation, prompted by the stunning landscapes and vistas as well as the unrelenting and ruthless strength of the volcano. Its lava flows erase everything in their path, shaping the environment for hundreds of years. However, the volcano also serves as a benevolent guardian to the local inhabitants, providing them with the plentiful produce of the fertile terrain. You’ll get a taste of these bounties first at the honey farm followed by the winery, immersing yourself in the distinct scents and tastes native to this remarkable and contrasting land.

Five Stars ! - We had the most fantastic trip to the Gambino winery for a wine tasting and lunch! Gorgeous views, amazing food and wine. Nino was our host at the winery and Martino was our driver from the cruise. Both were knowlegeable, accommodating and a pleasure to meet !

Top class experience! - We loved this tour. Giuseppe was a fantastic guide, super informative and very patient, allowing us to take everything in and enjoy it at our own pace (including our young boys!) Everything from exploring the volcano to the wine tasting was excellent and handled with such sophistication and care, our kids loved it too. Thanks for an amazing day!

Etna & Winery Tour - Our guide Martino was OUTSTANDING, very knowledgeable & friendly. Took us to all the best spots for pictures, knew all the locals and arranged a private tour of the Gambino winery. We had interesting conversations throughout the tour and he was extremely accommodating whenever we asked . I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. Brava Martino

So much fitted in to one day with Giuseppe our guide a fountain of knowledge giving us a real local insight and knowledge of the geology, history and culture.

Mt. Etna with a Gambino Winery Supremo - The tour was very good. We encountered a lot of traffic, which probably cost us 45 - 60 minutes of time, yet, as a result, when we were at Mt. Etna part, we only went to the lowest portion of the volcano and felt rushed. As such, a few yards away was a lift to the upper portions of the volcano, which certainly would have been much more desirable. Nevertheless, when we reached the Gambino Winery, the experience was much better than we could have expected. The food and wines were superb. Our driver was very good, at one point stopping on the road to eat some fresh, wild blue berries.

Great trip but frustrated by hidden fees - Our group has booked several excursions on our most recent cruise to the med. While the tour itself was fantastic and Richard was great, we were very taken aback by an additional $15 a person charge that was apparently in fine print but doesn't show up on the ticket when you download it to Apple wallet. Thankfully our group had extra money with us, otherwise we wouldn’t have been allowed to complete the tour or the driver was going to leave us at Taormina, and we would have had to find our way back to the ship.
