The Journey

1

Mount Etna

Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. It is one of the world's most active volcanoes and is in almost constant eruption. Its fertile volcanic soils support extensive agriculture, with vineyards and orchards dotting the lower slopes.

2

Lava Flow Cave

Lava flow caves are unique formations created during volcanic eruptions. These caves are formed when the outer layer of a lava flow cools and hardens, while the molten lava continues to flow beneath, eventually leaving a hollow tunnel. They offer a glimpse into the volcanic processes that shape the landscape.

3

Etna Winery

The wineries located on the slopes of Mount Etna benefit from the rich volcanic soil and unique microclimate. These conditions contribute to the production of distinctive DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wines. A visit typically includes a tour of the winery and a tasting of local wines paired with regional specialties.

Know Before You Go

This experience includes a tasting of four different wines and local food products, plus a helmet and flashlight for exploring the lava cave. A private environmental hiking guide is also included. It does not include anything that is not listed under 'Includes,' and private transportation is not provided. Meeting point details will be provided after booking.

Hot Tip

Reviewers suggest wearing comfortable shoes suitable for hiking and bringing layers of clothing, as the weather on Mount Etna can change quickly. It's also a good idea to bring a camera to capture the stunning views.
