Sicily excursion Code: ExEWN
Embark on an unforgettable Etna wine tour, where you will explore Mount Etna, taste its renowned wines, and visit the charming lavastone fishing village of Giardini Naxos.
This Sicily excursion, lasting 8 hours, takes you through the picturesque villages surrounding Europe’s highest active volcano, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its breathtaking eruptions.
Discover Mount Etna and its craters
We start our journey from Santa Venerina and Zafferana, driving through the historic lava flows that have shaped the region.
Upon reaching 2,000 meters above sea level, you will visit the Silvestri Craters, formed during the eruption of 1892. Here, you can enjoy a panoramic view where mountain, sea, and sky merge into a spectacular landscape—an experience you will treasure forever.
At this altitude, you can also taste local delicacies, such as traditional sausages cooked on the barbecue or the fiery “Fire of Etna,” a strong, flame-colored liqueur.
Experience the unique flavors of Etna wines
Our next destination is Linguaglossa, a historic village on the northern slope of Mount Etna, renowned for its wine production since 1850. The rich volcanic soil, packed with natural minerals, gives the local wines a distinctive flavor, elegant finesse, and remarkable depth—truly representative of Etna wine culture.
A highlight of this tour is a visit to Gambino Winery, where you will explore the vineyard and winery, followed by an exclusive wine tasting session. Here, you will sample exquisite wines paired with authentic homemade Sicilian products.
Explore Giardini Naxos, the first Greek colony in Sicily
In the afternoon, we descend to Giardini Naxos, the site where the first Greek settlers arrived in Sicily. This enchanting fishing village, now a lively seaside resort, offers stunning views and historical treasures to explore.
After a scenic tour by car with our cars, you can stroll along the beach and indulge in a taste of the town’s famous artisanal ice cream—a sweet conclusion to an extraordinary day.
