Reviews of this Winery

Our favourite ever wine tasting!

Rate: 5 out of 5 10/1/24
We were a party of 6 and most of us said it was the best wine tasting we had ever done! All 5 wines we tasted were absolutely delicious, and we would have bought them all if we weren’t travelling home with only hand luggage! The food pairings were also brilliant and the host explained everything really well and answered all of our questions. The setting was also so beautiful! I would 100% recommend this experience!

Amazing wines and experience

Rate: 5 out of 5 9/1/24
This was probably one of the best wine tasting experiences we have ever had. Maybe because we were in Sicily and were just loving everything about this island. But this place is special. Family owned and operated; we were treated to an intimate gathering outside amongst the olive groves. Hearing about each wine from the winemaker himself was just so special. And the wines were incredible. We had 5 different wines, each accompanied by a small food pairing that complimented the wine. It really was magical. It was one of our favorite experiences of our trip.

Must try in Syracuse!

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/24
This was hands down our favourite experience in Syracuse. This family owned winery was so charming and beautiful with a history spanning generations. Olaf and his partner prepared a wonderful 9-course tasting menu of wine and food pairings, and each one was absolutely delicious. After our meal, the owner helped arrange for our transportation back to our hotel which was very helpful. Looking forward to returning one day in the future!!!
The only small challenge was finding the property. To help guests in the future, the address is at #10 and not #7 as suggested by Apple Maps. Keep driving through the green gates and down the road, until you see a driveway to the left with a swimming pool (and likely some of the family’s dogs!) outside. This is the location where the tastings are held in the backyard. Enjoy!

Wonderful and amazing experience!

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/24
We had a wonderful experience at the Fausta Mansio winery from start to finish. From the moment we arrived it was so warm and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home. All the wines and tapas’ were explained carefully and attentively. The hosts did a great job in explaining the origins and process of the wines, and we loved every bit of it. Everything was absolutely delicious and generous, and we would definitely come again. They also had some super friendly dogs to make us even more welcome.

RELAXING, INTERESTING, DELICIOUS

Rate: 4 out of 5 7/1/24
Had a lovely time at this winery. Very friendly and knowledgeable Owner. Setting was beautiful and welcoming. Interesting and full information about each wine and the tapas. Had the opportunity to purchase goods without any pressure. Questions answered readily.
Only reason I did not give 5 glasses is because it was very difficult to find. We followed the sat nav but it took us to a location where it is not suitable to enter the winery. We had to reroute after making a call but although a new location pin was sent, it was still difficult to find and we were late for our booking. Luckily we were the only ones booked in. There are no signs to direct you either. So definitely leave plenty of time to locate the winery.
Better directions to the winery with a detailed map maybe.

Amazing discovery of new tastes with a kind man in a charming place

Rate: 5 out of 5 6/1/24
You arrive at the cellar where the owner-server come and greet you. We were just 2 (my husband and I) and were served at a table just for the 2 of us.
The place was quiet, with birds and olive trees just next to us.
We taste 5 wines combined with extraordinary bruschettas. The mix of each tasting-tapas was really amazing ! The food enhanced the wine taste.
The guy was there to explain each tasting, available to questions but not always next to us; his presence was just enough, just perfect. You have all the time you need, but if you are on a hurry, you can just drink, eat, and go.

A great afternoon of wine tasting

Rate: 5 out of 5 6/1/24
Our group of four had a really memorable afternoon. The wine selection was superb and so well explained, with many of the bottles named after family members; a lovely touch. The snacks to accompany each wine were also perfect. Our hosts made us so welcome and we’ll look back on our visit as one of the highlights of our week on holiday in Siracusa.
