Trekking Excursion on Mount Etna with Wine Tasting

About the Activity

What to Expect

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure with our Etna Wine Tour, where the natural wonders of Mount Etna meet the rich culture of Sicilian wine. Led by an authorized Naturalistic Guide, this tour takes you on a journey through stunning landscapes, from ancient lava flows to volcanic caves and majestic craters. You’ll travel in comfort by car, Jeep, or Minivan as you explore the unique terrain that makes Etna the third most important wine-producing region in Italy.

Your adventure begins with a guided tour of the beautiful volcanic sites, including a visit to an esteemed wine estate on the eastern slopes of Etna, around 500 metres above sea level. Here, the microclimate, influenced by the volcano's altitude of 3,360 metres, creates distinct conditions that make Etna's wines exceptional. The volcanic soil imparts a remarkable minerality to the vines, producing wines with freshness, fragrance, and a unique identity recognized both in Italy and internationally.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the winery, accompanied by an AIS-certified Sommelier. You’ll be enchanted by stories of the winemaking process, from grape to glass. As you explore the magnificent cellars, you’ll taste five local wines paired with various regional delicacies. This olfactory and gustatory journey will allow you to appreciate the unique aromas and characteristics of Etna’s wines, making for a truly memorable experience.
