Description

PRIVATE TOUR | FROM 110€ PER PERSON | WINE TASTING INCLUDED!

The Etna Wine Tour combines two intertwined natural experiences: the allure of the volcanic landscape and its fruits, expertly cultivated by the local people. The morning tour includes nature trails by jeep and/or trekking, depending on the participant's preferences.

The stages of the tour

Climbing through ancient lava flows and woods

After meeting the guides for a short briefing, we'll begin the climb up the roads that wind toward the volcano. Along the way, we'll cross ancient and recent lava fields which offer surreal landscapes ranging from barren lava flows to forests rich in vegetation up to 2000 metres above sea level.

 

 

 

The lateral craters in easy trekking

A key stage will be the visit of an area rich in extinct craters Reachable via a simple 1km hike at an altitude of 2000 meters. Here, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the volcanic phenomena and the natural environment that make our region unique.

 

 

 

 

The Valley of the Ox

We will then move to the viewpoint of the majestic Valley of the Ox, A spectacular and incredibly important geological site for the history of Mount Etna. This natural amphitheater was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013. If you've chosen the 4x4 tour option, we'll reach this stop via a fun off-road route.

 

 

 

The volcanic cave

Etna is rich in caves created within lava flows. We will let you experience the thrill of descending into the volcano's depths by visiting one lava flow cave (lava tube) equipped with helmets and speleologist lights, to understand the phenomena connected to the flow of lava.

 

 

 

 

Wine Experience in our vineyard

The tour will conclude at our farm, where you'll enjoy a guided tour of the vineyard, learning about Etna's cultivation and winemaking techniques. This will be followed by a tasting of at least four Etna wines paired with typical Etna products, including garden vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, fried snacks, and more.
