Mount Etna Wine Tour – Etna Wine Tasting

With our well-equipped all-terrain vehicles, we’ll go up Mount Etna, partially off-road, over cold lava streams. We will admire hundreds years old forests and visit the most beautiful sites of the volcano. Then we’ll go on an easy walk to the impressive “Monte Fontana” and we’ll visit the famous valley “Valle del Bove”.

Wandering through old and new lava flows and walking on secondary craters you will enjoy an unforgettable experience. Equipped with helmets and flashlight we will visit a real lava cave, where ice was produced centuries ago.

Our English-speaking guide will show you the variety of plants and animals that populate our active Volcano. Walking through ancient forests you will learn a lot about Etna vegetation and wildlife. After the Etna tour we will reach a typical Sicilian winery at the foot of the volcano

The Winery

After an introduction to the traditions and innovations behind the Etna DOC wines you will have a guided tour of the vineyards and the winery.
A walk through the vineyard gives us an opportunity to study the agronomic processes, and age-old practices still in use today. Walking among the indigenous grapevines of Mount Etna, trained in small alberelli and resting against chestnut poles, allows us a deeper understanding of Etna’s greatest traditions.

After the visit of the vineyard and the wine tasting, a light lunch will be served. The menu consists of a selection of typical antipasti, a first dish (pasta or soup) á la siciliana, fresh vegetables of the season, dessert, fruit, espresso, water and 1 selected wine.
