I would definitely...

I would definitely recommend this tour! Even though the weather was not on our side, Antonio maximised our experience throughout the day. He gave us lots of interesting information about Sicilian wine, food, lifestyle and the region from the minute we got into the car. The wines and tasting platter were delicious, and there was ample opportunity to purchase wines if we wanted to at the winery. The lunch was superb, and Antonio continued to educate us on all things Sicily at this point. The food, wine, tour and transport really made the tour excellent value for money!

A memorable day packed full of wine, food, history and beautiful sights!

Thanks to Antonio for a hugely enjoyable trip. His knowledge of Sicilian wine, landscape, history, architecture, Archeology and Mount Etna was so impressive and entertaining. He made every effort to tailor the trip to our tastes and he has such an engaging way of communicating. We laughed, we learned and we tasted some spectacular wine and food. On future visits to Sicily we will get in contact with Antonio as he has so much more to offer and will absolutely recommend him to any friends, family and colleagues travelling to Sicily.

It was a lovely day though the guide could have provided more information as we were driving through the countryside. There was very little commentary. The winery was great and the rural restaurant was also wonderful.
