Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dear food and wine lovers,
You visit the cellars to acquire the experience, passion and technique of a passionate winemaker.
Here the production area is desolate, machinery turned off and that's okay, it's August.
The shop is managed only by a young girl who is full of will but not prepared to lead technical tours.
The tour of the cellar €5 each.
What we did was just a tour, a walk among the steel silos and then among the barrels without being able to answer any oenological questions.
Duration 10 minutes of walking.
A disproportionate cost because you go to the cellars to peek and understand the effort and to hear stories about life in the vineyard and then also to taste.
Here, if you want to taste as they say, you have to give him €30.
If you just want to taste 1 wine you have to shell out €3.
Finally I tried to understand, with the same girl, how the shop is organized to be able to buy.
At the entrance there are wines from the sensi line. Why is it called that? Because it's top of the range!
What characteristics do they have?
I don't know?
Cost €20 per bottle
In the second room there are Basalt line wines costing €8.
When asked what the difference is with those in the first room, we are told that there will certainly be some difference to cost so much less.
Second question, can you taste basalt?
No.
Senses only.
Classic method? It is not for tasting because if we open it and don't consume it it will ruin.
What differences are there between the two types exposed?
All unanswered questions.
So dear owner of the cellar.
You may have earned 5x2 = €10 but you have demonstrated that you don't take care of the individual customer who loves wine like you.
Maybe as a Catanian you are passionate, but only about business.
To never again.

A beautiful company, with great history and a particular and unique vineyard. A spectacular cellar, dug into the lava. Huge choice of excellent wines. The tasting accompanied by typical products of the highest quality. The staff is friendly and very kind. A special thanks to Lucia for telling the story of the family and company history.

I really enjoyed taking the tour, tasting and lunch athe Patria Winery. First off though, it is tough to find and GPS will get you lost a few times.
When you arrive there is plenty of parking and the tasting room is beautifully set up. The wines are pretty good for the region and they are very fair in the tasting. I think they do this so you buy more wine.
The tour is excellent and I liked the process of fermentation and the use of steel and oak barreling to build up the complexity of the wine. Their red wines are quite good and their non-alcoholic wine, which is a sweet wine I highly recommend with Asian food.
The tour through the cellar was interesting and you can tell that the new owner put a lot of money into the grounds for special events and weddings. The lunch on the lawn at the end of the tour was wonderful especially on a warm sunny day. It was quite the experience. They give you a lot of food with your tasting and everything was excellent. The chef kept peaking out to see the guests reactions to the lunch. I loved the sausage and the fresh cannoli at the end.
Then they take you back to the wine room and try to close the deal. One person in our party bought six bottles so they were happy. The prices are half of what they would be in the States so it is not a rip off like some wineries are and they will ship to the states for you.
The tour is well worth the time and if you like the whole wine tour experience, it is worth the money especially on a nice day. On a gloomy rainy day, I'm not sure. It is a great day out!
