Sicily Wine Tour & Wellness Tour: Etna & Aeolian Islands

8 Days

Sicily, an island with a culture and landscape entirely its own, awaits discovery on our Sicily Wine Tour & Wellness. This carefully designed journey showcases the heart of Sicily and the breathtaking Aeolian Islands, where the stunning views of Vulcano and Stromboli provide the perfect backdrop for exploration and relaxation. From the baroque charm of Catania to the pristine beauty of these islands, this tour immerses travelers in the essence of Sicily.

One highlight of the Sicily Wine Tour is the opportunity to partake in the annual “vendemmia,” the traditional grape harvest that connects visitors with the land and its produce. Guests will also explore the exquisite wines of Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, whose rich volcanic soil nurtures some of the finest vineyards in the world. A visit to these wineries offers a deep dive into the island’s renowned viticulture, complete with tastings of its exceptional wines.

Cuisine plays a central role on this journey, and guests will enjoy a meticulously crafted 5-course dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant. To ensure the flavors of Sicily stay with you, a cooking class is included, teaching beloved dishes like “arancini” and “pasta alla Norma.” These hands-on experiences ensure that every meal is as unforgettable as the scenery.

The Sicily Wine Tour balances indulgence with adventure, offering guided hikes on Mount Etna, serene afternoons by infinity pools, and sunset dinners overlooking the sea. Additional highlights include visits to charming towns like Ortigia and Taormina, where local artisans and historical treasures await discovery.

Whether savoring the region’s wine and cuisine, connecting with its rich traditions, or taking in its breathtaking landscapes, this journey promises to be a sensory feast and a true exploration of Sicily’s soul.
