Giovanni was an absolute delight. Passionate about Sicily, an amazing driver and outstanding host. We had eight people on our tour from various nationalities, and Giovanni made everyone feel welcome. The wine and food were great, and you leave very satisfied. It was a fun day!

Excellent tour. Wine tasting at Gambino was great. Farmhouse lunch was exceptional. The house and grounds were beautiful. We left so full and satisfied. Giovanni was a great driver and your guide. He had great stores about Sicily and we learned a lot. We felt like family with the group by the end. We got a flat tire on the way down from the winery. The group worked together to change it with Giovanni. It was a great laugh and story we will carry with us. Team building at its best:). How many tourists does it take to change a tire? We highly recommend this tour. It exceeded out expectations.

Giovanni was very knowledgeable about Sicily and Italy. He drove us to the Gambino winery for ample pours of delicious wines as well as food bites. The second stop was the Donafogata winery for lunch and more wine. It was a beautiful day and Giovanni was an excellent guide. I would go back.

This tour is a great way to spend time in the Mt Etna region without the stress of driving. Denise, the tour guide & driver picked us up promptly at the agreed upon time, She knows the area and the history of wine in the region. The Gambino winery is in a beautiful spot and the sommelier was enthusiastic about the winery and its history. Food was very good and special accommodation for dietary intolerance was made. The lunch spot, a ways down the mountain, was also excellent; food was creatively presented and accompanied by a glass of prosecco and wine choices; once again food intolerance was made. I strongly recommend this tour

Our guide picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the most beautiful winery and views! Wines were delicious. Then the next stop was a private lunch for our group at another beautiful location, with wine included of course. Exceptional experience!
