Here is what's in store for you

La Gelsomina is located on the north-east side of Etna in the town of Presa, in a natural context of great beauty and winemaking vocation. Since 2018, we have partnered with Tenute Orestiadi (Gibellina, TP), a collaboration that allows us to offer, in a single experience, both Etna DOC wines and those from the opposite side of Sicily. This tasting journey allows our guests to appreciate the distinct differences resulting from varying terroirs, grape varieties, and microclimates.

The experience begins with a tour of the vineyards that take the form of an amphitheater, enjoying the spectacular panoramic sea view, a visit to the ancient Palmento (old wine press), and the new cellar. 

Tasting of 4 wines in combination with a light lunch: Roll of spaghetti with tomato sauce and fried eggplant, spinach omelet, parmigiana, bread, breadsticks, extra virgin olive oil, salami, olives, 3 types of typical cheese (Ragusano DOP, pecorino, provola), almond cookie.

We got what we expected
We got to taste a few very nice wines but the highlight was actually the food plate that came with the wine and the dessert wine we asked for.
Very friendly staff and a nice experience!

Engaging experience
Winery located in the hamlet of Presa with a spectacular view of the Ionian Sea from the terrace. The sommelier who welcomed us is very knowledgeable and had us taste 4 wines, also based on our personal tastes, accompanied by a plate of mixed appetizers. Visit of the vineyards from above and of the cellar where the classic method is produced.

Tasting among friends
Picturesque location, especially the amphitheater among the vineyards and the internal palmento. The excellent welcome and Jessica's passion contributed to the superlative tasting experience. Excellent quality wines, both white and red. Highly recommended.
