Trip to Sicily May 2026

We are spending three weeks in Sicily in May of 2026. We are flying into Catalina (My wife and two sisters-all healthy 70 year olds). There was a recent NYT article re the wine region east and north of Etna (Randazzo,Linguaglossa, etc). We would like to take a leisurely tour through this area (three or four days) as well as spend some time in Taormina before we leave for Siracusa. What you suggest should be our home base. We don’t want to stay overnight in multiple places. Additionally we would probably hire a driver for the wine tours. We would appreciate any suggestions for a home base and a reliable driver.

Sincerely
George M

I don't know your price range but in the upscale category there are at least two hotels that get great reviews:

MONACHE DELLE TERRE NERE
ZASH COUNTRY HOTEL

Less expensive, look at the HOTEL SHALAI in Linguaglossa

Once you book your hotel, I would ask them for driver's names
