Our driver, Marco, was excellent. Grazie mille! He made a special trip to return sunglasses I forgot in the car. The setting of the winery was lovely. However, the experience of the wine tour and meal were disappointing. The wine tour was all of 1/2 hour. The meal was good, not gourmet. The tasting was ok but did not include the sparking wine that was highlighted by the wine tour guide. We had to purchase a bottle to taste adding to the already considerable cost of the experience. Disappointing, not the cost of the experience.
Dear Anita, Thank you for your kind words about Marco — he’s truly one of a kind! We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations, though most guests find the tour to be a highlight of their trip. The wine tasting and meal are designed to reflect authentic Sicilian hospitality — relaxed, high quality, and far from commercial. As for the sparkling wine, it's offered as an optional extra, and many guests enjoy choosing to add it themselves. We encourage future visitors to read other reviews — this experience consistently receives praise for its charm, value, and unforgettable setting. The cost of the tour includes private transportation, driver, pick up and drop off, guided private winery visit, wine tasting and lunch with sommelier. This is the usual cost of all these servises. Best regards, Tamara
