We first came to Ramaddini in 2018 and have great memories of that experience so we wanted to return while we were in the area. The place has had a recent renovation with a fantastic new terrace upstairs. Our hostess was warm, friendly and knowledgable and the food was perfect. What disappointed us was the amount of wine, we had booked the tasting with 4 different wines, and we were given only a sad 1cm of wine in each glass. Of course at a tasting I don’t expect huge amounts of wine, but there wasn’t even enough to start enjoy the wine before it was already finished. Even if we added all four of these glasses together it wouldn’t have even made half a glass! I’ve done wine tastings across Sicily and also in Athens, Santorini, Australia, America etc and I have never had this problem before. And infact our previous visit to Ramaddini was not so strict with its portions. A little more generosity will make your customers much happier! The other negative thing for us was the lack of an elevator to reach the tasting (which happens upstairs), which causes difficulties for those with pushchairs or wheelchairs. This should either be clearly stated during the booking on the website, or ideally an external elevator which reaches the terrace would be perfect. Based on this recent visit I can’t say I would return again...

Luisa took the time to explain the history of the vineyard, their approach to making wines and the family touch that is clearly evident. We really loved the Patrono of which we purchased a bottle of to take with us. We will definitely return for another visit the next time we're in the area. Incidentally, they are opening a new tasting room in just a few days, and it sounds like it will be very...
Read moreWe had a pleasant wine tasting with Emanuela. Emanuela was very fast in reacting and answering our queries on whatsapp about the tour. We booked the €35 tour for 4pax. We had a great lunch/tour with her. It was educational and she answered our questions at the best of her ability. She was also kind of enough to let us taste some wines which are not in the tasting so we could purchase it. The food spread for the tasting was delicious when paired with the wines. We were happy with the tasting and...
