We are passing idyllic Sicilian villages and some of Sicily’s most famous wine-growing regions and whilst gaining altitude, you will learn a lot about the country, the population and their culture. You will certainly remember the impressive play of colours of the black lava and the extraordinary vegetation on Mount Etna. As we pass by the lava flows of recent years, we will see centuries-old forests and we will stop at some of the most beautiful places on Mount Etna. During an easy hike of approx. 45 min. on the craters in the surrounding, you will see the unique landscape with the old and new lava.

Of course, a competent English-speaking guide will accompany you during this guided trip on Mount Etna and you will learn a lot about the history of the volcano with its myths and the current situation there. You will continue the adventurous jeep tour on an off-road track through the pine forests and you will get further insight into the unique and diverse flora and fauna which inhabits the lava rocks.

Like the speleologists, you will be equipped with helmets and flashlights to explore one of the famous lava caves on foot with your guide. These caves were created by a lava flow and they still have special properties. Centuries ago, residents close to Mount Etna used these caves for the ice production.

As one of the last stops of the Jeep part we will drive to the hardened lava flows, which destroyed the local ski lift during the last big eruption.

Etna Winery Visit

Thereafter we are driving to the Sicilian “Cantina”, surrounded by vineyards with a stunning view. You will visit the production sites and you will learn a lot about the local wine production and the importance of Mount Etna in this context. Immerse yourself in the Sicilian culture, by tasting the Etna DOC wines, which have a special aroma due to the unique local conditions and the fertile soil on Mount Etna.

Etna Wine Tasting

Really good with just a few flaws

The wine tour guide (different from the volcano) was incredibly hard to understand so I couldn’t learn as much. At the end of the tour our guide was going to take people to their hotel first rather than the meeting spot which would have been really out of the way for us since we drove. We corrected it but I had to really speak up. The itinerary says meeting point is the first end and then hotel drop off. Otherwise the tour was great! Hike is NOT easy. It’s only an hour but with heat and elevation it was exhausting and quite steep.

A great experience

The guide( whose name unfortunately I don’t remember ) gave us an unforgettable experience. He was very knowledgeable and good at communicating, something we experienced he did with heart and a lot of humor. It was really nice trekking around Etna. Winetasting with food was also very good!
