Sicily Wine & Wellness

Wine & Wellness: Etna & The Aeolian Islands

8 Days

Embark on a journey across three breathtaking Mediterranean islands, where the art of exploration meets relaxation. This curated experience blends tranquility and discovery, inviting you to uncover the treasures of Sicily, as well as venturing to the less-traveled and enchanting Aeolian Islands: Vulcano and Salina.

Immerse yourself in nature as you hike the slopes of Mount Etna, and snorkel in the pristine waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Indulge in the richness of Sicily’s slow food movement, savoring the delicious local dishes and partaking in the sacred wine harvest.

As a highlight, participate in one of Italy’s oldest traditions—the annual grape harvest. Hand select grapes and blend them into the delightful flavors of volcanic Etna wine.
