This was a lovely evening of food & wine with a small group of like-minded people. Alfredo was a brilliant guide, engaging and amusing, knowledgable and friendly. The food was absolutely wonderful. The first place we went to looked rather 'touristy' so I was surprised we were going there but the food was absolutely wonderful so I had to reconsider my judgement! At the second bar, we had some delicious tapas-style charcuterie and cheese, which was also delicious and we finished at a small outside cafe for some Sicilian almond wine and sweet treats. I felt that all the wines we tasted were a little average, but the food, ambience and super company more than made up for it, plus Alfredo was the perfect host. Highly recommend!

Antonio was a really lovely guide, very knowledgeable and full of useful information about the food, wine and general local trivia. Several of us ended up continuing the tour even after he had gone, we were having such a lovely time! Would strongly recommend.

While you are certainly well-fed during this tour, it is definitely the wine that takes centre stage as this is where our host was most knowledgeable. A great way to introduce yourself to the town, navigating side streets and learning about the island's heritage. One highlight was taking in a sweeping view of the coastline and Etna's lava flow by night. I would have liked a list of the wines/grapes mentioned so I could look out for these later in the holiday, but in hindsight I could probably have typed them out on my phone for reference later! A wonderful way to spend an evening.
