Private Tour of Mount Etna Volcano + Lunch at Etna Winery

During this private tour, conducted in a comfortable air-conditioned car, you will have the opportunity to explore Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. This exclusive tour is tailored solely for your party, ensuring the highest standards for our clients.

Your friendly private English-speaking guide will provide insightful commentary on the formation of Etna volcano, its history of eruptions, as well as the rich culture, myths, and folklore surrounding "Mamma Etna" and Sicily itself. As you traverse through the quaint mountain villages in the privacy of your own car, you'll be treated to unforgettable panoramic views of the Sicilian countryside, adorned with orange and lemon orchards, olive and almond groves, and charming houses and churches constructed from lava stone.

Our first stop will be in Zafferana Etnea, a picturesque village nestled on the slopes of Etna, renowned for its delicious honey. Here, you'll have the chance to visit a local honey store and sample a variety of products cultivated from the fertile volcanic terrain, including honey, olive oil, olives, wines, and liquors. Continuing our ascent of Mount Etna, we'll reach the "Rifugio Sapienza" station situated at 2000 meters above sea level.  Here, you can marvel at the famous Silvestri Craters, take in breathtaking panoramas, browse souvenir shops offering lava-themed gifts, or indulge in refreshments at one of the nearby bars or restaurants.

For those seeking an extra thrill, there's the option to ascend to 3000 meters with a cable car and jeep, accompanied by an authorized Alpine guide.

After your visit to Mount Etna, your guide will chauffeur you in relaxation to one of the best wineries on the Etna slope. At the winery, you will embark on a tour of the estate, observing how the grapes are grown and exploring the cellars, while an expert sommelier provides insights into the winemaking process and the history of this family-run winery. Following the tour, you will indulge in a traditional, delicious, and hearty lunch featuring locally produced cheeses, salami, prosciutto, fresh bread, olives, and homemade olive oil, along with a traditional Sicilian pasta "alla norma" dish. To complement your meal, a professional sommelier will offer you tastings of four glasses of Sicilian Etna red and white wines.
