This Mount Etna food and wine tour promises an intimate encounter with Sicily’s rich flavors, warm hospitality, and spectacular volcanic landscapes. As you journey through sun-soaked countryside dotted with olive groves and lemon trees, your expert guide will teach you about the island’s time-honored culinary traditions. Ascend to 3,300 ft above sea level (1000 mt) and take in sweeping views of the lava stone-terraced vineyards scattered across Mount Etna’s brooding slopes.
Overview
At a charming family-run winery perched atop an ancient lava flow, step into cool, shadowy cellars and uncover the secrets behind Sicily’s celebrated vintages. The island’s mineral-rich volcanic soil lends its wines a distinct character and bold, complex flavors. Savor a guided tasting of local grape varieties, expertly paired with a tempting array of organic appetizers—from tangy local cheeses to sun-kissed tomatoes and exquisite olive oil.
Continue to a countryside restaurant nestled amidst rolling hills and vine-draped terraces. Dine on authentic dishes made from fresh local ingredients, including sun-ripened vegetables and artisan pastas. As you linger over a glass of wine on an open-air terrace (if weather permits), soak up the warm hospitality of your hosts and admire idyllic views of rural Sicily.
