Etna Proposal at Gambino Vini | Sicily Romantic Surprise
Romantic Etna Proposal: Ray & Raquel at Gambino Vini

When Ray and Raquel planned their trip to Sicily, the highlight looked like a simple wine tasting on Mount Etna.
What Raquel didn’t know was that Ray had been secretly crafting the perfect Etna proposal among vineyards, lava-stone terraces and glasses of Nerello Mascalese.
The result? A heartfelt “yes”, a Sicilian toast, and memories to keep forever.
“Planning an Etna proposal means combining volcanic landscapes, wine culture and authentic Sicilian charm.”
Why Gambino Vini for an Etna proposal?
Set in Linguaglossa, Gambino Vini combines
breathtaking vineyard views with genuine Sicilian hospitality.
Surrounded by the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna and the blue of the Ionian Sea, this winery offers a unique atmosphere:
elegant yet relaxed, private yet warm.
It’s a place where visitors taste volcanic wines and discover Sicilian traditions,
and where moments of love can naturally turn into unforgettable memories.
The wine tasting experience
A proposal during a wine tasting is not just about the ring—it’s about sharing an authentic experience.
At Gambino Vini, guests are welcomed with typical Sicilian hospitality,
guided through the vineyards and introduced to the story of the land.
Each glass tells the tale of Etna: mineral whites, intense reds, sparkling aromas.
Plates of local delicacies—cheeses, olives, cured meats—create the perfect pairing.
As Ray and Raquel joined the group, everything seemed like part of their holiday.
She expected photos as a simple souvenir of the tasting,
while he knew that these images would frame one of the most important moments of their lives.
“This unforgettable Etna proposal at Gambino Vini proves how unique and intimate a moment on the volcano can be.”
A surprise hidden in plain sight
We were there pretending to be the tour photographers, blending into the crowd so Raquel wouldn’t suspect anything.
As the glasses were raised for another toast, Ray suddenly got down on one knee.
The square of lava stone, the view of the vineyards, the stunned silence followed by joy—everything fell into place.
Surprise, laughter, and tears merged with the clinking of glasses as the other guests spontaneously celebrated with them.
This Etna proposal was more than a private act: it became a collective joy, a moment shared with strangers who felt part of their story.
