This Etna wine tour, among our day trips from Messina, is dedicated to those who love wine and want to try the local production.
We will have a first stop in the famous town of Taormina, one of the most relevant tourist destinations in Sicily. After a visit to the historical center with its monuments and fashion boutiques, we will continue our Etna wine tour discovering one of the typical Sicilian wineries based on the volcanic slopes.
Here you will meet the winegrower and owner of the estate. He will introduce you to the characteristics of the local grapes, made so special and precious by the volcanic soils and by the great amount of sun to which they are exposed.
You can try different kinds of Etna wines accompanied by a good variety of local and tasty Sicilian food: you will see why this is one of our most requested Sicily day tours.

Our ship had a last-minute change with its port and Discover Messina handled it flawlessly. Pepe, our guide, was awesome! We really enjoyed this excursion and highly recommend it.

My husband, my mother and I were on a NCL cruise and this was an excellent excursion!! We had originally booked a similar shorter tour with this company which was cancelled. Communication was very good and we were changed to this tour. I was concerned about the walking portion of the tour for my mother but was reassured that this was optional. Our tour guide, Andrea, went above and beyond to accommodate my mother's needs. He sat and had breakfast with her in Taormina while my husband and I walked the town. At the winery Andrea brought the van around to the cellar and drove my mother to the tasting room so that she could avoid the stairs. Andrea was excellent as a tour guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Messina and was great to talk to in general. His driving made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this company and this tour. I liked the small group size of the tour and we were picked up right at the port. The winery was beautiful, we enjoyed lunch and the good wine. We brought home a couple bottles, but if you want more the winery has shipping service.

We actually were switched from this tour to one going to Caselmora and Taormina with lunch because not enough people signed up for this tour on our given day. I say this to have an idea of an alternate tour they offer in case the group doesn’t have enough people. I thought they would go ahead with the people who did book but I understand why they canceled. Nevertheless, had a great time!

This was by far more than expected. Guisepee & Alesandra were both AMAZING! Very detailed with so much information & pictures. The winery was beautiful. A little dissapointed that the grapes werent in season, but just another excuse to go back. Highly recommend.

Alex was a wonderful, kind and efficient guide for our cruise excursion in Tuscany. We were able to see Pisa before the crowds were took thick and then when we finished our time in Florence a little early he took us through the little Venice of Livorno, it was a great surprise to see a spot we had not heard of. We enjoyed seeing all that we had on our wish list in one quick day! Thank you!

This was a great tour with Andrea. She pointed out where to get the best food and Taormina is beautiful. The winery was fabulous- great food and wine. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our guide, Giuseppe, and driver, Andre, were excellent! They were friendly, informative, funny, and very helpful. We had a small group and traveled comfortably in a minivan. In Taormina, we arrived ahead of the crowds and Giuseppe offered to show us the bakery he liked for cannolis. They were huge and delicious. From there we went to the Patria winery for a tour, samples and lunch. At the winery, Alto, explained the winery's history, their processes and everything we sampled. This tour was well worth it!
