This is the tour designed to combine an exciting and active morning with good traditional Sicilian food and excellent Etna wine.
During the morning we will discover all the peculiarities of the volcano: a walk on the edge of an extinct volcano, the discovery of a lava cave, we will talk about the eruptions that have destroyed the tourist resorts over the years. The tour will be conducted by our guides born and raised on Etna.
Once the morning excursion is completed, it will be time for our guests to actively participate in the day with lunch in one of the wineries selected by us in the Etna area.
Our guests will have the opportunity to taste Etna wines paired with traditional Sicilian culinary dishes. Lunch will be accompanied by industry experts who will comment on the wine, properties, history and the best possible pairing with the dishes.
This tour is the type of excursion that best completes the experience of Etna as the volcano is not only synonymous with destruction but also with life and how our ancestors, throughout our history, have managed to create a very close to the volcano, such that it can now be considered a resource rather than a threat.
Meeting Point at Montata Grande - Via Dottore Giuseppe Zappalà, 45, 95039 Trecastagni (CT). You can park your car and take some time to enjoy a delicious breakfast: a coffee, cappuccino, or americano, a refreshing glass of granita, and our homemade cakes.
