Including and excluding

What to bring

The wine tasting and vineyard tour take place outdoors, as well as inside the historic palmento – a traditional stone wine press, depending on the season and weather. Inside the Palmento the temperature can be noticeably cooler, especially in spring or autumn.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes. Even on warm days, it’s a good idea to bring a light sweater or jacket, especially if your visit is in the late afternoon – the palmento stays nice and cool inside.

And here’s a bonus tip: you might want to wear dark-colored clothing… just in case you spill a little wine while tasting.
Better safe – and stylish – than sorry!

There’s no dress code – just come relaxed and ready to enjoy the flavors of Etna.
