• 10.00 – 16.00: excursion to Etna aperitiv on the old craters and wine tasting with lunch
An exclusive tour to discover the highest active volcano in Europe. Perhaps you wouldn’t automatically
associate the vast, dark craters and lunar-like landscapes with fine cuisine, yet Mount Etna’s fertile soil
nurtures some truly amazing produce. In this awesome setting, on top of old craters, a surprise is
waiting for aperitiv time: a sommelier poised to pour you a glass of Etna sparkling wine and serve it with
tasty local delicacies. As lunchtime approaches, guests can discover Sicilian cuisine with a wine tasting in
one of the traditional wineries on Etna, or heading to a small town near the Alcantara Gorge, where a
group of local women passionate about traditional Sicilian cooking have formed a project called Le
Mamme del Borgo, who open their doors to guests for traditional cooking classes.
