We did a half-day custom tour where we visited a section of Mt Etna pyroclastic vents (higher up volcano) and enjoyed a meal/wine at a local winery on the north side of the volcano. Our volcano tour guide (Luca) and Etna Wine School host (Ben) were both incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. We were traveling with a baby, and they helped accommodate us as needed. We greatly appreciated getting to see/enjoy the area without having to drive it all ourselves. Having read much of Ben's book prior to attending, I found that both Ben and Luca could provide many levels of information (high level overviews or answer very specific technical questions). With the sights, education, and food/wine, this tour was a highlight of our trip.

Hi Bob!
Thank you so much for your kind review … It was a really fun day for us too! I’m always happy to have inquisitive guests with great questions about this fantastic place that we call home … We’ll keep a light on for you. Let us know when you get back to Sicily and/or Mount Etna!

Just returned from a long trip to Italy and am now writing reviews. Etna Wine School turned out to be one of our bad experiences. In fact, we were never able to get past the "application" stage with the school.
Our guide in Palermo recommended Etna Wine School for vineyard tours and tastings. I sent a detailed email to the school requesting information, i.e., how many people in our party, what we were looking for, dates we were available, etc. Two days later, I received an email reply requesting that I "take a moment to complete our guest questionnaire using this link...," then noting that "once I receive your responses, I'll contact you with some suggestions and availability."
I filled out the questionnaire as indicated and waited... and waited... and never heard back again from the school.
I assume that either their web-based service failed, the employee responsible for handling the questionnaires dropped the ball, or since they were not working on the dates I requested, simply did not bother to respond further.
Worse, it turns out that my initial email already contained the answers to most of the questions on the questionnaire, so they could have answered my email with a simple "Sorry, we are not available on the dates you requested" if they were not interested in having us as clients. Instead, they wasted my time and kept me from checking other vendors. Poor service.

My wife and I did a one-day wine tour with Ben. He is a wonderful host with great knowledge of the wines, culture, and history of this place.
Etna seems designed as a winemaker's laboratory and playground. With Ben's facilitation we were able to see a glimpse of the complexity and nuance that exists in the wines, and winemakers, of the region. Ben is clearly not just a tour guide but a respected peer of and partner to the winemakers in the area. His passion for them, their wines, and their culture inspired us throughout the day.
Our day was a great adventure!
Mia moglie ed io abbiamo fatto un tour del vino di un giorno con Ben. È un ospite meraviglioso con una grande conoscenza dei vini, della cultura e della storia di questo luogo.
L'Etna sembra progettato come un laboratorio e un parco giochi per viticoltori. Con la facilitazione di Ben siamo stati in grado di vedere un assaggio della complessità e della sfumatura che esiste nei vini e viticoltori della regione. Ben non è chiaramente solo una guida turistica, ma un pari rispettato e partner dei viticoltori della zona. La sua passione per loro, i loro vini e la loro cultura ci ha ispirato durante il giorno.

Went for the half day trip with little expectations and was profoundly pleased. What a fantastic day with Brittney from the school and Jacobo of Tennuta di Fassina Winery. A thoughtful tour with history, culture, and information about wine making in this rich area that looms under Mount Etna. Jacobo and his staff put together a food and wine tasting with an amazing variety of wine and organic seasonal foods from the winery garden. We learned so much and had a fantastic day with these intelligent, attentive, and warm people. I am beyond thrilled and would do it again in a heartbeat. I feel like I might keep in touch with Brittney, an ex New York Sicilian with Italy in her soul! Thank you for a great day!

Hi Nicki! — It was a pleasure to have you and Sal with us for a very special moment on the mountain. We aim to curate the best experiences for you. Part of the way we do this is by working with you to define _your_ day. It helps that we also eat the local food and drink the local wine. Knowing what's in season, and the people who respect the natural balance of this inimitable place in the world, we are easily able to share it. That's the heart of it. Sharing. This is Sicilian hospitality at it's best. Cheers! — Ben

Hi Gail — Thanks for your question. We are currently updating our website to include some pricing. That said, we curate every experience to the guest(s). In other words, we offer you the opportunity to design your own experience, rather than telling you what you are going to do. Many of our guests prefer having and being offered options (i.e. chauffeured car service; special tastings of particular vineyards or producers; a Michelin lunch; etc.). These a la carte items can change the pricing. I hope that helps. Don't hesitate to contact us via the website with any questions you may have.
