esperienza ottima
Posto bello sotto l'Etna, la struttura è moderna ed accogliente, ben curata, situata proprio "nella colata lavica" di Zafferana Etnea. Vino buono e pietanze buonissime e super abbondanti!
Natalia ci ha spiegato tutto ed è stata molto gentile e informata!
Grazie!
scegliete un giorno senza tanta confusione come un lunedì per espempio!

Una bellissima esperienza!
Siamo stati accolti da Lisa, bravissima e preparatissima. La degustazione è un percorso ben pensato e strutturato; gli accostamenti ai vini sono perfetti e buonissimi, delle vere prelibatezze tipiche siciliane. Consiglio vivamente! Ritorneremo presto!
P.S. L’arancino molto buono ma l’Arancina è molto meglio! Ahahahah Grazie Lisa!

Bella esperienza

Superb wine tasting experience!
Only suggestion is to provide more specific directions to the winery (for tastings) and the shop in town - for those driving on their own. ;-)

Amazing winery at the bottom of Mt Etna
We heard that there were wineries with excellent grapes grown in the volcanic soil at the base of Everest.
After some online investigation, we decided and booked a wine tasting session with ORO D'ETNA
Was a delightful 2 hr session hearing about the history of the winery and tasting great wined with super tasty local charcuterie.
Also tried the various spreads they make and 8 different types of honey..
All harvested from hives on the property
Definitely worth a visit when visiting Catnaya/ ETNA area

100% Recommend
The vineyard is located a mile or so away from the vineyard shop, and as we had arrived at the shop rather than the vineyard our hostess Lisa was kind enough to drive us there and also pointed us in the direction of a short walk to view a lava flow whilst we waited for our experience to start.
Lisa was so lovely, accommodating and helpful. We had a guided tour of the property and the wine cellar with an explanation of the different wines and the wine making process, and then got to sample a great selection of wines and grappa, all served with very generous portions of paired dishes all of which were incredible.
The visit finished with a trip to the vineyard shop, with Lisa again arranging transport for us at no extra cost.
I can't recommend a visit to Oro D'Etna highly enough.
Be sure to check the addresses and to go to the vineyard not the shop!

Very good!
The host was friendly and his knowledge about the wines were great. The only suggestion I have is to explore and taste other wines more. Like a champagne, cotes du provence or wines from other areas. We think it might help to improve your knowledge about other wines more. The knowledge about the wines served and other Italian wines was excellent!

A Zafferana, on "Etna wine road" and must passage to reach the highest active volcano in Europe, is situated the Costa Farm ORO d'Etna.
The soul of the winemaker has always been in the history and in the ancestors of the Costa family. Even a cooper, grandfather "Neddu" among the recent family generations. Currently owner of a wonderful 5-hectare vineyard, located at the entrance of Zafferana at 550 m a.s.l., along the eastern slopes of Etna but overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Native grapes variety are present in three different plantation:
- about 1 hectare, the youngest part of the vineyard, has little more than 10 years, totally implanted in Nerello Mascalese grape and bred with single Guyot system.
- just over 3 hectares, with an age of about 40 years old, growed on saplings on the row system, planted with red grapes of Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio and white grapes of Cataratto, Carricante and Minnella white , mixed as traditionally.
- just under 1 hectare, located on small terraces made with dry stone walls in lava stone, the oldest part of the vineyard, with plants of about 80 years, bred with the traditional sapling method.
From this vineyard, care of vines and grapes, low yields for each plant and careful selection of grapes, mixed practices of cellar between innovation and tradition, but above all work and passion, are produced about 20 / 25,000 bottles of excellent wines that can boast the prestigious initials Etna DOC.
