Tour and tasting at Distilleria Dell'Etna, a historic distillery at the foot of Mount Etna

Here is what's in store for you

Distilleria dell'Etna of the Russo brothers, whose origins date back to 1870, is the only distillery currently active in eastern Sicily. 

The company stands on a pleasant hillside at the foot of Mount Etna, not far from the enchanting Ionian coast, in the town of Santa Venerina, in the province of Catania. Over several generations, Distilleria dell'Etna has continued and increasingly perfected the ancient art of the island's master distillers. Through the production of Grappas, Brandy, Aquavits, Bitters, typical liqueurs, artisanal Rosoli, and Creme di liquori, Distilleria dell'Etna has set itself the goal of preserving tradition and exalting the typical fragrances of Sicily, thus expressing its love for its land and guaranteeing authenticity and quality to the consumer.
