Highlights
Etna excursion and wine tasting with lunch starts in SUV or minivan (up to 8 people). The first stop will be a walk in the woods to the lava front of the 2002 eruption. Starting along Via Mareneve, immersed in the Ragabo pine forest, we will arrive at the starting point of our trek to the Monti Sartorius craters. A route of about 3km, starting at 1650m and reaching an altitude of 1750m, a walk suitable for everyone. We will then explore a lava tube, the Thieves' Cave, equipped with helmets and torches. After the excursion on Etna, we will visit a local winery where you can taste several Etna wines and have lunch based on Sicilian specialties. A sommelier will tell you about viticulture in Sicily, the winemaking processes, and the history of the winery. This tour represents the ideal opportunity to discover the beauty of Etna, its geological history, and the culinary and gastronomic culture of Sicily, through a suggestive and unforgettable experience.
