Hotel Villa Taormina
Journey into the Etna flavors
Wine and oil tastings in selected cellars and oil mills of Etna
Hotel Villa Taormina has selected a selection of companies in the Etna area: cellars, oil mills, wine producers and oil producers, to let you taste the best.
The volcano has shaped its landscape with lava flows and volcanic dust for millennia. A unique, living terrain that gives Etna wines unrepeatable personalities.
These experiences are born from the desire to tell the story of wines through their protagonists.
The small producers of Etna are in fact the custodians of family stories, the only ones capable of offering a sensory journey made of authentic goodness.
