Etna Wine Tour Experience

Etna, Wines and Vineyards

Discover the freedom and creativity of Sicilian food and wine culture, which allows us to produce unique and famous wines and flavours worldwide. On the eastern side between the pine forest of the Etna Park, facing Taormina's coast, the Gambino vineyards are a pleasure for the sight and the palate

They represent one of the best examples of high altitude Etna vineyards: in an exclusive natural environment, at 800 meters above sea level, the vineyards are laid out on sunny and ventilated terraces. The characteristics of the soil give the wine pleasant fruity aromas. Hints of red fruits, strawberries and raspberries are accompanied by floral notes.

Program

The Etna Wine Tour experience begins onboard our 4x4 jeeps or 9-seater vans. Along the way, which will take us to the north side of Etna, an expert guide will explain the stories and legends related to the Etna villages and our volcano. Arrived in the heart of Etna we will enter the heart of our excursion. A light trek between Pines and Birches will lead us to discover of lunar landscapes with infinite expanses of lava that are lost in the horizon of the volcano.

We will walk on gigantic craters to reach their peaks and enjoy truly unique panoramas. Armed with torches and helmets, we went to discover a suggestive volcanic cave to understand its formation, its origins and its history.

Wine Tasting

After the excursion on the volcano, we will reach the Gambino estate, an ancient winery on the slopes of Etna, the ideal conclusion of this journey to discover Sicily's treasures. The tasting menu includes 5 types of white and red wine carefully selected by the sommeliers to enhance and enhance the uniqueness of the typical Sicilian products: appetizers, selection of cheeses, meat and side dishes.
