Really friendly driver who knew so much about Catania, Enta and the area we were visiting. The first stop in Zafferana Etnea was more than just the amazing honey. There was wine, oil and olives....all very tasty. The first vineyard tour was very informative and our guide very knowledgeable. The wines we tasted (with bread and oil) were very good. The second tour included a huge lunch....antipasto, a stunning pasta and simple sausage made with fennel seed and rosemary potatoes. To finish a small tart and desert wine...molto bene. Emilio was very generous with his time and knowledge especially how the wine was made in the past. I was really pleased with how the day went, how much we saw, ate and drank and thought it excellent value for money. I'd highly recommend this tour as a great way of seeing a bit more of this amazing island.

On the whole, this was a decent experience. The first stop with the olive oil and honey was rushed and felt like a sales pitch, not a tasting. They did have small wine tastings, but this is not one of the two wineries on the tour. The winery stops—the second and the third—were much better. I preferred the first winery to the second, but that’s a personal preference. The first winery also produced olive oil that was delicious. The lunch was at the second winery. The food was decent; not amazing but good enough. A word of caution: the drive is very windy. If you are easily made car sick, then I would either try to sit in the front or avoid this tour all together.

Andrea was the perfect host and this was a fantastic day of wine tasting. Patria wines were fantastic and I enjoyed the full vineyard tour. We went to another organic vineyard and the honey place too. It was well paced, relaxing, and we tried many wines (no shortage on tasting). We had plenty of time to purchase bottles and try more wine in the wine shops too. Overall a fantastic day tour.
