Alcantara and Winery tour

Alcantara gorge – A natural wonder of Sicily

Gole Alcantara

Our tour begins with a scenic drive to Alcantara Gorge, one of the most fascinating natural formations in Sicily.

The gorge, carved by the Alcantara River through ancient lava flows, features stunning basaltic rock formations that create a dramatic, almost surreal landscape.

Walk along the crystal-clear waters, admire the sheer volcanic cliffs, and capture incredible photos of this natural masterpiece.

For those who love nature, the gorge offers short hiking trails, opportunities to explore the cool riverbed, and a chance to learn about the geological history of the region.

Castiglione di Sicilia – Patria winery and volcanic vineyards

Leaving the gorge behind, we head towards Castiglione di Sicilia, a charming medieval village known for its picturesque streets and breathtaking views of Mount Etna. Here, we visit the prestigious Patria Winery, one of the leading names in Italian and international enology.

Situated 700 meters above sea level, the vineyard thrives on the fertile black lava soil of Mount Etna’s northern slopes. This volcanic terrain, rich in natural minerals, imparts exceptional depth and complexity to the wines. During the visit, you will:

• Explore the vineyards, where centuries-old vines grow in the volcanic air
• Tour the winery, learning about traditional and modern winemaking techniques
• Indulge in a guided wine tasting, sampling some of their best labels
• Savor local homemade delicacies, perfectly paired with the wines

Linguaglossa – Gambino winery and the taste of Etna

Our final destination is Linguaglossa, a picturesque town nestled on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. Renowned for its long-standing wine-making tradition dating back to 1850, this area produces some of the most refined Sicilian wines.

Here, we visit the Gambino Winery, a family-run estate celebrated for its premium Etna wines. The high-altitude vineyards, combined with the volcanic soil’s unique properties, result in wines that are elegant, mineral-rich, and full of character. At Gambino Winery, you will:
