Away from the crowds of tourists, this tour takes us up to an altitude of almost 1,800 metres, passing unique volcanic landscapes and lava flows on the way, as well as several Etna villages, which have plenty of stories and information to tell.

The Etna & Wine Tour is the perfect combination for gourmets and wine lovers
You will spend the morning on an easy hike on impressive side craters and a visit to a lava cave before rounding off the day with a delicious wine tasting and a typical local lunch.
We take you to the north side of Europe’s highest active volcano and introduce you to our volcano from a completely different angle. The northern flank of our volcano is certainly the lesser known, but all the more breathtaking for that.
The first stop is a lava cave into which we descend. Equipped with helmets and torches, we immerse ourselves in a world full of legends and myths.
After visiting the lava cave, we go on an easy hike on a total of 7 extinct craters from which we get a wonderful view of both the east coast of Sicily and the volcanic landscape with its active craters.
We then head down to one of Etna’s most renowned wineries. Here you will not only get a guided tour of the estate, but also a tasting of the excellent wines combined in perfect harmony with local dishes.
After the tasting, which will last around 90 minutes, your guide will take you back to the meeting point or to your accommodation.

Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. Picked up on time and brought us back to our hotel. Well worth the trip to Etna. Amazing views of the volcano and of the coast and mainland Italy.

We booked this tour as a family of four and were not disappointed. Our guide Davide picked us up on time and in a good mood at our hotel in Taormina and gave us a wonderful day on the north side of Etna. Our children still talk about this unforgettable experience. Thank you very much, keep up the good work!
