Experience the best of the Mount Etna region with a visit to the soaring volcano, a tasting at an illustrious winery and a traditional Sicilian lunch. Enjoy an arresting drive to Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna, reaching an altitude of more than 6,000 feet above sea level, where you’ll discern numerous remnants of lava streams from previous eruptions coating the volcano’s slopes. From your fabulous perch, revel in seemingly endless vistas of the surrounding fertile, volcanic landscape and the shimmering sea beyond. Descend to Tenuta San Michele, a distinguished winery that takes full advantage of the region’s ideal micro-climate of cold winters, temperate summers and abundant rain. You’ll learn the quality of the region’s grapes is further enhanced by the lava soil, which is rich in potassium and mineral salts. Join your friendly hosts for a tasting of the estate’s best vintages enhanced by informative descriptions of the day’s selections.
