Arrive at the charming mountain town of Zafferana Etnea and take part in a tasting of authentic jams, honey and liquors from the region. Continue your drive to reach the plateau where the mountain hut of the Rifugio Sapienza is located, 2,000 metres above sea level.
Experience the unique atmosphere of the volcano and its lunar landscapes first hand. See the famous craters of Silvestri and purchase souvenirs made from lava at one of the many shops. Climb to an altitude of 3,330 metres by cable car (subject to an additional fee of €65) if you are feeling adventurous.
After your visit to Mount Etna, your guide will chauffeur you in relaxation to one of the best wineries on the Etna slope. At the winery, you will embark on a tour of the estate, observing how the grapes are grown and exploring the cellars, while an expert sommelier provides insights into the winemaking process and the history of this family-run winery. Following the tour, you will indulge in a traditional, delicious, and hearty lunch featuring locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, fresh bread, olives, and homemade olive oil, along with a traditional Sicilian pasta “alla norma” dish. To complement your meal, a professional sommelier will offer you tastings of four glasses of Sicilian Etna red and white wines.
