The staff of the Cantina Benanti will accompany you through history, climbing the side of Monte Serra, an ancient eruptive cone planted with vineyards, and touching its centenary vines of Nerello Mascelese and Nerello Cappuccio, and then understanding, in the old and majestic Palmento, the customs, traditions and winemaking techniques of our ancestors. Continue the experience by visiting the historic cellar which houses our collection of oil paintings on canvas - and the Bottaia, the place where our red wines are refined, and then immerse yourself in an in-depth tasting of our labels, accompanied by a selection of flavors of our land.

After the first winery Benanti we will driving on south east side of Etna Volcano to reach the second winery.

The menu is exquisitely seasonal, followed in detail by our starred chef Accursio Craparo and curated by the hands and energy of our chef Vittorio Caruso. We take the ingredients from our organic garden: vegetables and aromatic herbs. The oil is our extra virgin olive oil from Nocellara dell'Etna. Meats and cheeses come from Etna farms. Chestnut honey is made by bees in our woods.

After the Barone di Villagrande winery we will travel (Almost 30 minutes) on the north-east side on a panoramic road called "Mare-Neve" (Sea-Snow), precisely because on the right we can see the sea and on the right we can admire Etna covered in snow (During the winter season). On the eastern slope of the Etna volcano, among the woods of the National Park and facing the Taormina coast, the Gambino vineyards are a pleasure for the senses and the heart. A pleasure for the sight, as they represent one of the best examples of high altitude Etna vineyards: in an exclusive natural environment, 800 meters above sea level, the vineyards are located on sunny and ventilated terraces, with breathtaking views. You will start with a wine tasting paired with typical Sicilian products followed by a guided tour of the winery.
