Etna Urban Winery - Sunset vineyard Walk and Tasting Experience
Overview
Etna Urban winery is a unique wine tourism experience. It is located in a natural spot on Etna surrounded by the expanding city, where we have decided to revive the historical family etna viticulture, a countertrend decision in an area of growing constructions and facilities.
We are motivated by the love for a 8 generations' family property, and the desire to show that a different use of land is possible and feasible even within city's suburbs, that still retain the character of a typical Etna lava field.
You will visit the vineyards at your own pace through the self guided vineyard trail. Take time to enjoy your walk, stop at viewpoints and learn at the information boards. Immerse in the austere atmosphere of our Palmento (historical winery) from 1790 and still largely in its original shape.
And finally, explore our cousine! Our resident chef Leonardo is looking forward to delight you with a culinary journey across the four slopes of Etna, 4 wines paired with 4 gourmet bites.
