When people think of wine, they often picture rolling vineyards and countryside estates. But urban wineries tell a different story.

In the city, our own vineyard grows the grapes that become our wines. Every bottle begins here, shaped by the vineyard’s unique character. While we collaborate with trusted local winery partners during the winemaking process, everything starts with our vineyard and the grapes grown exclusively within it. This close connection allows us to share a truly authentic story, from vine to glass, right in the middle of the city.

One of the most rewarding aspects of urban winery life is sharing our passion with visitors. More than a place to produce wine, the winery is a space where people gather, learn, connect, and create memories.

This journey is best understood through the people who make it happen.

Lunch: Sharing Local Flavours

Michele is our 30-year-old sous-chef, and for him, our experience begins in the kitchen, where he prepares seasonal dishes inspired by Sicilian cuisine, served with wines that express the character of Etna.

Whether visitors are taking a break from exploring the city or enjoying a leisurely afternoon with friends, the goal is to create a relaxed and welcoming moment around food, wine, and conversation.

Michele says: “For me, what makes the lunch Sicilian starts with the ingredients. We use seasonal produce, local products, and recipes that are inspired by the traditions of this island. Sicilian cuisine is simple in its approach, but rich in flavour, history, and cultural influences.

Beyond the food itself, it’s also about the way we share it. In Sicily, meals are meant to bring people together around the table to talk, connect, and create memories. I hope our guests experience not only the flavours of Sicily, but also the warmth, hospitality, and sense of community that are such an important part of our culture.”

As the day transitions into evening, the experience becomes more immersive.

Guests are invited to explore the winery, learn about the vineyard, and enjoy a dinner designed to complement the wines.

With Leonardo in the kitchen and Angelo guiding visitors through the vineyard and its wines, the experience is about creating a deeper connection among people, place, food, and wine.

Rather than simply serving a meal, dinner becomes the final chapter of the journey from vineyard to glass.

Angelo says: “I want every guest to leave with a deeper appreciation and understanding of Etna wine, its typicity, its character, and how it connects with food, people, and place. For many visitors, this is their first opportunity to discover the wines of Etna, explore food pairings, and understand what makes this territory so special. More than that, I hope they enjoy a moment to slow down, share experiences with others, and connect with something local. Our urban winery offers a unique and exclusive way to experience Etna wine right in the city.”

Leonardo approaches the experience from the kitchen, where he designed each dish alongside the wines that are being poured.

“My goal is to create food that complements the wine so guests can experience the full potential of what a pairing can offer. When the right flavours come together, they reveal new dimensions in both the dish and the wine, leading to discoveries that guests may not have expected. I hope people leave the table having enjoyed great food and wine, but also with a deeper appreciation for flavour and the connections that food and wine can create.”

What makes an urban winery special is the connection between vineyard, city, and people.

Visitors can experience the journey from 200 years ago to the present. Day, while meeting the individuals who make it possible, from those preparing meals to those guiding tastings, sharing stories, and welcoming guests each day.

The next time you enjoy a glass of our wine, you’ll know a little more about the people, passion, and craftsmanship behind it and the community of makers who bring the experience to life.
