Di Giovanna Winery Tour & 5 Wine Tasting

Excellent day at this lovely vineyard Very knowledgable guide who took us around the vineyards and production areas and we then settled down to wine tasting and some amazing plentiful food Word of warning don’t take the North Road out of Sambuca it quickly turns into a dirt track only fit for tractors and donkeys!

Everything was fantastic. The facility and tasting room is wonderful. The staff especially Guilherme were all friendly, informative, and attentive. The wine is excellent of which I purchased a lot. We will absolutely be back to visit again. The value for the cost was well worth it. Highly recommend.

My partner surprised me with this experience, and wow what an absolute wonder! The journey there is so serene and remote, instantly making you feel excited about the wines, as the grapes are grown right in the surrounding area creating an immediate connection to each bottle. The natural wines are unlike anything I’ve ever tasted, and the red wine is simply divine. The fresh, local charcuterie board perfectly complements the wines, making the experience even more memorable. The hospitality was exceptional, with two incredibly knowledgeable, kind and warm servers who made the visit unforgettable. This is truly an experience I’ll treasure forever.

Our winery visit lasted about 3 hours and was truly wonderful. Not only did we have an awesome tasting of 5 wines, they kept us very well fed with bread, and cheese, delicious olive oil, veggies, and pasta. Truly a gourmet experience! Nicolo and Guilherme were excellent hosts, and took care of every detail. I can’t say enough good things about our visit! Highly recommend.

Beautiful family-run organic winery. Everything was tastefully presented. Extraordinary facility. A must see in Sambuca!

Such a great experience!! Vito was so nice and friendly. He gave us a tour of the property and we cooked amazing meals, caponata, fresh pasta, sundried tomatoes and dessert. He explained every steps and sent us the recipes. The wine kept on coming which was GREAT and delicious. Very genuine people. I highly recommend this activity!!

We booked the tour along with a tasting of five wines tasting and loved it. The winery is certainly remote (you may start to think you have taken a wrong turn but stick with it - the winery is well signposted re is plenty) but this does mean that the winery enjoys some fantastic views across the valley. Davide hosted us and showed us around the vineyard, talking through the different grapes that they grow / wines that they make - we even got to try some of the grapes. It was then into the winery and finally the tasting. We really enjoyed the wines - it was great to try something different being the unfiltered white wine and we loved both the Helios Grillo & Nero d'Avola .... so much so that we ordered a few bottles. The wines are served along with a selection of cheeses, meats and Sicilian dishes which were lovely. We have done many many wine tours across the world and this is one of the best that we have enjoyed - we would highly recommended it to anyone.

Located in the mountainous area of Sambuca beautiful views Nicola our wine sommelier was very hospitable and his knowledge of Vineyard and its history, with outstanding, very nice young man. The organic wine was outstanding. They even shipped us our wine back to St Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour. Don’t hesitate to book this to wine tour.

Out back, up in the hills between Sambuca di Sicilia and Giuliana, is the finest organic winery where we experienced the best wine tasting ever. From the moment we were greeted by the English-speaking lady of the place, who was our guide, to leaving the farm a lot of good experiences richer. She started by offering us coffee, after which we were introduced to the vineyard closest to the winery. Here we were given a very detailed overview of the grapes and wines and were allowed to taste the grapes. Next, we went to the outdoor press where the hand-picked grapes are separated from stems and leaves and piped into the production facility. We have never seen such a beautiful and professional facility and were given a detailed description and even tasted the raw must. We went to the cellar and looked at the storage etc. and afterwards we were welcomed into the beautiful tasting room, where the table was already set for us. To accompany the exquisite and well-described 5 wines, we were served a very nice and rich selection of local specialities - hot and cold, bread, sausage, vegetables, cheese and their own olives and oil. All in all, a highly recommendable experience. We thank Di Giovanna for a memorable time at the winery

Brilliant wine tasting. Amazing food. Lovely and knowledgable host. 10/10 - You must visit & see this lovely location.

Amazing experience with amazing scenery! Nicola was so amazing, he taught us so much. His knowledge of wine and the vineyards was amazing. The wine was the best we’ve tried in Sicily. We recommend trying the 5 wines( especially the orange wine) 10/10 experience.

Great views and a good tasting experience. We tried 5 different wines together with some meats, cheeses and snacks. Nice newbuilt space for the tasting.

This is a beautiful property with a brand new tasting room with amazing views over the hills in Sicily. We are lucky enough to spend quite some time in Sambuca and we can’t say enough good things about Gunther, Klaus, Melissa and the whole DiGiovanna family and operation. Please visit when you’re in Sicily, you won’t regret it! :)

The road up to the winery is not great, so it is slow going, but preserve, it is worth it. To begin the view is amazing. The tour, through the vineyards and the cellar, provides the history and philosophy of the winery. I have done many similar tours and this is a good one. We then did the tasting of five wines with many little bits of great food, cheeses, meat, bruschettas, etc. More than enough for lunch. The wines are all quite good. We bought some to drink on the rest of our trip and had some bottles shipped back to the US. Definitely get a reservation. This is a highly recommended stop.

I wanted to visit Di Giovanna as they produce wines and olive oils in my family name. I am not sure if there is a direct family relation, but it was fun to explore. The Di Giovanna’s were welcoming and gracious. I was shown photos of where the grapes and olives are grown, and they gave me some history of their origins. The wine tasting was elegant and they helped me ship wines and olive oils home. My shipment arrived the day after I got home from Sicily so my home is well stocked with many delicious wines from Di Giovanna to share with family and friends. My visit there was a highlight of my Sicily adventure.

What an amazing experience! My husband and I love this place, not just for the atmosphere, the wine, the staff, but for the love and passion the owners have worked so hard for to make this a memorable vacation.

After our experience, we must say we were quite surprised by all the positive reviews of this winery. My partner was very excited when he found the winery on google maps, but we ultimately left the experience very disappointed. The man who led the tour and tasting (I believe the manager) was very rude to us. He gave us a short tour and told us nothing about the history of the winery and very little about the wines produced. Even during the tasting when we asked about the wine he would not answer us. It was bizarre like he was turning his ears off when we spoke. He was very eager though to talk to the other couple, giving them a lengthy tasting. At one point he even sat at the table with them and poured himself a glass of wine to drink with them, completely ignoring us. While we paid to do a five wine tasting he treated us as if we were unworthy of his time. Since we did not get to try the wine we requested to try, my partner decided to buy a bottle to take home. While I thought it was generous enough for him to buy wine given how the staff treated us, he still seemed to scoff at us for not buying enough. For the amount of money the experience costs, I would recommend touring a more inclusive winery.

Absolutely stunning location with a fantastic new purpose built wine tasting area/building. Great wines, staff & owners. Getting there is a challenge but 100% well worth the journey. Highly Recommend it!

We had an amazing time at the Di Giovanni wine tasting. Sofia was a great host, the wines were delicious and the antipasti provided was much more than expected. Would recommend for couples or small groups

Our wine tasting experience at Di Giovanna was wonderful. We loved our tour of the property along with the wine and food pairings we were served. This family owned, organic wine producer is worth a visit if you're in the area.

Fantastic views, nice tour, delicious tasting. It's an adventure to get there (small bumpy roads) but it's well worth it.

Welcome. History and passion. These are the three words that perfectly encapsulate the experience lived at the Di Giovanna winery. A world to discover. Mind, heart, nose, palate satisfied. Thank you so much!!! We always fly high.

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. THERE'S ONLY ONE THING MISSING. A review of a winery that offers tastings goes a bit beyond the canons of description of the usual culinary experiences. Every now and then, for the pure pleasure of experimenting, for the curiosity to discover corners of territory that are different from the usual routes already traveled, it is worth facing a few kilometers of desolate road to discover unimaginable realities. The Di Giovanna winery, built by Aurelio as early as the 1960s and today managed by his sons Klaus and Gunther, is located in a naturalistic "hermitage" of rare beauty, quiet and tranquility, located just outside Sambuca di Sicilia. No annoying noises, just the wind between the rows and olive trees, the chirping of cicadas and the singing of birds. And then, the wine, especially... They will make you sit, after a short explanatory walk through the vineyards, in a cozy and functional tasting room, where the wines chosen are combined with simple but effective typical dishes of the territory, able to best support the tasting. This solution without the classic coupling with real courses, which to some drinking purist might seem reductive, instead seems fully representative of a territorial reality more inclined to concrete and substance than to forms and dictates from "cuisin". I also believe that this approach helps to highlight and emphasize the importance of wine as a key element of the food and wine journey, which sometimes risks being overwhelmed by the intrusiveness of the accompanying food. The many foreigners present in the room, from all over the world and all very satisfied, are the testimony of this consensus. We were fortunate enough to be introduced and trained on the vocation and characteristics of the company by Klaus, a faithful example of how it is possible and rewarding to play the dual role of manager and affable entertainer of their guests. Wines of excellent quality (among all Helios grillo and nero d'avola) perfectly connected with pate, cheese, jams, salami, caponata... A different path than usual, destined to amaze those who, with courage and initiative, try to prove first of all to themselves, that winemaking Sicily has an enormous hidden capacity, destined to reveal itself soon. A single suggestion, aimed at filling a gap in the winery's offer and motivated by personal preferences and an eye on today's Point of Sale: when are bubbles?

Unique experience and undoubtedly to be repeated!!! Fascinating location, to reach it you take a country road that winds through the hills to climb up to the foot of the mountains where beautiful lush vineyards are born! Once in the cellar the landscape is breathtaking!!! Remarkable tasting of typical local products and especially of truly fine wines and delicate on the palate, each with its own personality! The sunset tasting is subliminal especially when spent with important people with whom to share flavors places and the fascinating sunset! Excellent welcome, courteous and professional staff, but above all attentive and meticulous in describing and telling the origins and processing processes of each wine tasted! Finally my congratulations to Klaus owner of the winery..... to amaze you with his presence! Simply to make sure his customers are pampered enough! Fascinating to be able to hear the story of the birth of the Di Giovanna winery because you immediately understand how much sacrifice work and passion is behind it all! Person to confront and even joke with ...... EXCELLENT WINES AND FABULOUS OIL!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! THANK YOU TO KLAUS FOR THE GIFT GIVEN TO US AND MUCH WELCOMED!!!

Belle dégustation de vins et de produits typiques de la région. L'hôte était très gentil et nous a bien expliqué l'origine du vignoble et des vins. Belle activité d'après-midi, nous recommandons!

Suggestive Experience…. With a wonderful welcome from the property that pampers its guests, at 360 degrees... from the tour inside the cellar, describing the procedures in the smallest details up to the bottling... and then a superlative tour in an infinite land among vineyards, olive trees and artificial lakes... finally arriving in the refined tasting room, where the multisensory experience inebriates the palate, sight and smell with a succession of courtesy, kindness, competence and professionalism of all the staff…. We were enchanted by the atmosphere and the tasting journey of the excellent organic wines and the superlative organic extra virgin olive oil... all accompanied by platters of very high quality cured meats and cheeses, very fresh ricotta and other things to combine with the fragrant bread... Everything top of the range!!!! Compliments !!!!!!!!!
