The 4 Wine Tours in Sicily That Earn Their Price

1.Mt. Etna, Wine and Alcantara Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 370 reviews · from $117Our pick

Spend eight hours with a naturalist guide such as Andrea, Giovanni, Emiliano, or Danilo, hiking Etna to 2,000 meters, entering a lava cave, eating lunch with local wine, and cooling off at Alcantara Gorges.

“This tour is perfect, and I definitely recommend it. The guide picked us up on time, at the exact location, and was flexible enough to drop us off where it suited us best on the way back. Marco is an excellent guide, and he shared so many informative details about the volcano, eruptions, flora, and fauna. The Alcantara Gorge is truly spectacular, although the water is very cold. The experience at the winery was pleasant, but the lunch could have been better. In general, we had a fantastic day, and this tour is definitely worth the money spent.”
