One of Sicily’s most dramatic days is built in. This private, English-speaking trip takes you up to Etna’s 2,000 m views and finishes with real wine tasting at the winery. The one thing to watch is pacing: the day is…
Etna wine meets a real Sicilian lunch. I love the shared courtyard table setup and the chance to taste Vigna Grande alongside three other Etna styles. One thing to consider: you’re on a fixed schedule and you’ll be eating communally,…
