This was a fabulous day. One of the best wine tours we ever had!
The first winery Palmento Costanzo is at the foot of Mount Etna and was absolutely gorgeous, brand new (a few years old ) first class with stunning views. We toured this beautiful winery and after the tour we had a wonderful wine tasting accompanied by delicious appetizers. We tasted 4 wines that were superb. 2 of the wines were rated 4.1 on my Vivino app which is very high rating.
The next stop was a delicious lunch at Ristorante Antonio set amongst the vineyards. The food was gorgeous to look at and even more delicious to taste. Plus there was red and white wine and limoncello.
Carlos our tour guide and driver was fantastic, charming and so knowledgeable. He picked us up at our hotel in Taormina and because he was early & we were also early he gave us a mini tour of Taormina (that was an unexpected bonus) As we driving to the winery (around an hour drive through little towns) Carlos filled us with stories about the area, Mafia, Mount Etna, and so much more. He was the best guide we have had in all the tours we have taken throughout the years!!!
We highly highly recommend this wine & food tour!
