This venue, still hosting performances today, offers stunning views and a rich history.

Head to a local vineyard situated on the fertile slopes of Mount Etna. Here, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the bay and surrounding hills as you learn about the unique wine production methods used on this volcanic terrain. You will taste four different wines, each showcasing the flavors of the region, paired with a light and flavorful Sicilian lunch. The lunch typically features sun-dried tomatoes, local olives, cured meats, and other regional specialties, making for a delightful culinary experience.
