Perfect day to celebrate my birthday - Had a great day on this tour celebrating my 30th birthday on vacation with family! We book directly on the prestelli website and arranged to be picked up from our airbnb villa which was perfect! Carmello was a fantastic guide. He arrived with cannoli for the journey and told us all about wines from the region during the car journey. The first vineyard was beautiful and we enjoyed tasting their wines and olive oil with warm bread. We weren’t rushed at all and could’ve stayed longer to drink as much wine as we could, but as it was 11am we thought we’d move on to the next place! The next winery was smaller but we were well fed! We sat outside with a lovely view and were served a small sandwich with local meats and cheese and the owners wife prepared the most delicious pasta dish. All alongside 4 glasses of wine! At the final vjneyard, we enjoyed a tour around the grounds and sat inside for some more local meats and cheeses! By this point we were very full but it was tasty so we still ate! To top this off, I was surprised with a birthday cake! My family had asked if they could organise a cake for me at the last vineyard, which they kindly did complimentary! It was the most lovely day and a perfect way to see the region, try local wine and taste some delicious food. Make sure you go hungry as you will be well fed!

Amazing day! - We had an amazing time visiting the 3 wineries. The wines were great and it was so fun to see around the vineyards. The tours all felt very personal and we got to meet the owners and their families. The wine was yummy and there was also lots of food. Great views of Etna as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Wine Tasting Day - This tour was incredible. The wineries are hand selected by the local team, and you get to experience non-commercial / touristy locations. Additionally, the lunch served at one of the wineries was fantastic - we felt like we were having a family meal. Lastly, huge shout out to Alessandro, our driver and guide. He was extremely friendly and waited for us when we wanted to enjoy extra wine and snacks at the final vineyard. He’s the best!

Mt. Etna Wine Country - This was an excellent tour. I would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about Sicilian wines in general, and Mt. Etna wines in particular. Corrado, our guide and driver, did an excellent job of explaining the Mt. Etna countryside as we drove through the small villages along the way. The three wineries we visited were of different sizes and focus, so it gave us a good overview of the region. A couple of larger properties with vineyards on site, and a smaller winery operated by two brothers. At each stop we were served food with the wines, and at the second winery we were also served a very nice lunch. All of the winery staff we met were personable and very knowledgable, and all were keen on sharing the virtues of the Mt. Etna soils and microclimates. All spoke excellent English, so don’t let your lack of Italian language skills be a barrier. On the few times that there was a hitch, Corrado was able to translate for us. A further plus is that the tour encompasses some of the most scenic parts of Sicily. This tour is a must for any wine lover seeking to experience some of the Mt. Etna magic.

Great tour - Great tour and great guide. Would definitely recommend! I think this tour is great for wine connoisseurs, especially if you like more dry, less sweet wines.
