We would have loved to have visited this vineyard, but unfortunately they did not bother to respond when we enquired about visiting! We emailed them 12th Jun to enquire about availability for the 17th. They responded almost immediately advising they had availability.... great start. Unfortunately it went downhill from here. We responded straight away saying that we would like to book, what time we should be there and how would they like us to pay. 24 hours later, they had not responded, so I emailed again asking if they had seen my email. I received a terse response advising they were trying to please everybody and asking for my patience.... Ok. They advised they would get back to me by then end of the day. The following day, having still not heard back, I emailed again asking them to confirm availability so I could book. 5 days later, I've still had no response at all!! The website asks you to make payment before contacting them to make your booking. I strongly advise not to do this as I suspect if we had, we would not have been able to arrange a visit and may have not received our money back. Thankfully, we did manage to book a visit to Nicosia vineyard who offered wonderful service and exceptional...
Read moreMy husband and I visited Terra Costantino recently, and it was one of the highlights of our first trip to Sicily. The owner Fabio greeted us along with his children and then gave us a tour of the winery with his teenage daughter, who was a lovely young lady, a fantastic guide and a real credit to her parents. It was clear to see Fabio's passion for the wine they produce and the legacy created by his own father, as well as the pride and joy he felt watching his daughter continue the family tradition. It was quite beautiful and emotional to see this wonderful legacy being passed down the family line. After the tour we had the wine tasting with the light lunch, which was fantastic and very high quality. The gentleman who did the tasting with us (sorry did not catch his name) was great, very knowledgeable and just as passionate as the family. I could not leave without purchasing a bottle of excellent Costantino wine, which Fabio's wife and son wrapped for me. It was a real family affair which felt authentic and personal. There is something very special going on at this winery, I would love to revisit again in the future and I will recommend this experience to anyone I know who is...
Read moreWhat a delightful experience! My family and I (a group of 6) chose this winery because it was one of the few in the area that did not require an advance booking. On our way from Mt Etna to the winery it started absolutely downpouring. We pulled into the lower parking lot but saw that the doors/windows of the tasting room were covered. An employee saw us and we inquired if the tasting room was open. He made a call up and said go ahead. (It turns out due to the poor forecast they spent the day bottling). They were beyond happy to open up for us and beyond accommodating. We enjoyed a cellar tour and then a tasting of their wines, accompanied by great explanations of the wines and the growing process (plus some delicious bread & olive oil). We could hardly choose a favorite as everything was so delicious. Fortunately we bought some bottles to go at an incredibly reasonable price. Thank you to Marco and Salvatore for welcoming us to your beautiful location for a...
