Highlights of the Day:

A Journey to Mount Etna
Begin your day with a thrilling ascent to one of Europe’s most active volcanoes. You will be driven up to an altitude of 2,000 meters, where you can explore the surreal landscapes of the Silvestri craters, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. The striking contrast between the dark lava and the bright blue sky creates a dramatic backdrop, ideal for capturing memorable photographs.

Visit a Local Vineyard and Experience Wine and Honey Craftsmanship
After your volcanic exploration, head to a charming vineyard, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Sicilian countryside with views of the sea. Here, you will discover the special techniques used in viticulture on this unique volcanic terrain. Enjoy a tasting of four exceptional wines, each paired with delightful regional snacks that enhance their flavors. In addition to wine, you’ll sample a selection of local honeys, renowned for their diverse and rich flavors, and enjoy almond pastries, olives, and extra virgin olive oil — all showcasing the essence of the land.

Relish a Traditional Sicilian Meal
End your day with a delicious and authentic Sicilian lunch, prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Savor a selection of regional specialties such as cured meats, cheeses like Pepato, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives. This mouthwatering meal will be perfectly complemented by the wines you tasted earlier, allowing you to fully enjoy the authentic flavors of Sicily.
