Life Beyond the Room: Curated Group Trip
Sicily Wine & Wellness Trip
7 Days
Connect with nature, hike the slopes of Mt. Etna, snorkel in pristine waters and enjoy local foods in Italy’s most enchanting region.
This small group trip is the perfect harmony between relaxation and exploration. Wine, organic food and laughter are on the daily menu as you discover the diverse beauty and history of the island of Sicily.
If you choose to join this trip in the fall, you will also be a part of one of Italy’s most ancient traditions: the grape harvest. You will assist in picking the grapes, transfer them to the cantina and start the process of what will be transformed into delicious Etna wine.
