Here is what's in store for you

Discover the charm of Catania’s historic center, just steps from the Duomo, with our wine tasting experience.
Tenute dei Ciclopi is the only Etna winery that has a tasting room in the center of Catania, a way to enjoy the same experience you would have at a winery on Mount Etna, right in the hearth of Catania.

Savor the authenticity of Sicilian wines as you wander through ancient streets, while being carried away by the legends of the Cyclops and the epic journey of Ulysses along these shores. An experience that blends flavors, history, and myth in the heart of Sicily.

Let your sommelier guide you through a selection of four DOC wines from the winery: Etna Bianco, Etna Rosato, and two vintages of Etna Rosso.

Enjoy a board of typical Sicilian products, including cheeses, cold cuts, bread, and local extra virgin olive oil, while you sip your wines.

Not really worth the money
The place was nice. The hostess friendly. Unfortunately she was not invested in the experience and she walk away during the tasting. We could not ask her questions and we did not get any new information about the wines. We think it was too expensive compared to the tasting.
Reply from Tenute dei Ciclopi
Good evening Line,

We are truly sorry to hear that the experience offered by Tenute dei Ciclopi did not fully meet your expectations.

Our experience was created with the aim of guiding our guests through not only our wines, but also the history, identity and land from which they originate. The visit begins with the story of our winery, our Cyclops “mascherone” and the myth of Polyphemus, before continuing in our amphitheatre with a large-screen visual experience dedicated to the volcano, our territory and the passion that inspires our work. It then concludes with a guided tasting of our wines, paired with a selection of local products, designed to complete the story through the flavours and character of our land.

We are sorry that, in your case, the experience was not able to convey the sense of involvement and emotion that we hope to offer every guest. We nevertheless sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your impressions with us, as every point of view gives us a valuable opportunity to reflect and improve.

We would be truly delighted to welcome you back as our guest during a future visit to Catania, and we hope to have the opportunity to share our vision, our projects and, above all, the passion we put into the wines we produce every day in a way that feels even more engaging and meaningful to you.

Warm regards,
Tenute dei Ciclopi

Great experience and great wines!
A wonderful wine tasting experience in a beautiful location. I visited with my colleagues and we were immediately impressed by the elegant setting, which perfectly combines Sicilian charm with a modern and refined atmosphere.

The wines were excellent, and the tasting was enhanced by delicious local food pairings. The host was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing interesting insights about Etna wines and the unique volcanic terroir. The combination of great wines and warm hospitality made this one of the highlights of our time in Catania. Highly recommended!

Great experiece!
I had a fantastic time at this wine tasting and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Catania. As an Irish traveler exploring Sicily, I was hoping to experience some local wines and learn a bit more about the region, and this was the perfect way to do it.

The tasting included four very enjoyable wines, along with some local food that added to the overall experience. The setting was elegant yet comfortable, creating a relaxed atmosphere where it was easy to unwind and enjoy the evening.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. They shared interesting insights about the wines and the local area, making the experience both informative and enjoyable.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply looking for something different to do in Catania, I would definitely recommend giving this a try. It's a lovely way to spend a few hours, discover Sicilian flavours, and make some great memories.

Fine wines in a dreamy landscape
I read some reviews about this winery over the years, so as soon as I found myself there, being in Catania for the first time I didn't want to miss the chance.
I tasted very good white and rosé Etnas (2023 and 2024 respectively), then I tried a 2021 "Feudo di Mezzo Red" and that definitely made the trick for me, I'll be back for certain in the beautiful winery in the center of the city when I'm back in Catania (which, by the way, is stunning)
Hope I can vist the vineyards over the mountain too when I get the chance.
Overall certainly recommended
Take some time to visit Catania beforehand, it's quite a beautiful city, and the tasting room is in the center, in a quite characteristic neiborhood. Also the food was fantastic
