Description
The Tenuta Scilio wine estate lies on the north eastern side of Mt Etna, at approx 650 mt asl, in the Galfina valley within the ETNA DOC appellation zone.
 
The family residence and cellars date back to 1815 and are surrounded by the organically cultivated vineyards, where for centuries the traditions of winemaking have been handed down from generation to generation.

Visitors to the estate are most welcome to a guided tour of the vineyards, cellars and wine tasting.


Your host Elizabeth and her grandson

The peculiar climatic conditions of the area, the volcanic soil and a low yield per vine are essential for the production of Etna’s famous wines. For the last four generations the Scilio family have continued to cultivate passionately the 28 hectare estate combining together the typical traditions of Sicilian vine cultivation (wine making) and modern technology.

The Valle Galfina Guest House is open all the year round offering the unique opportunity of being able to holiday and at the same time appreciate the extraordinary unspoilt environment of Europe’s most famous volcano “the Etna”.
