Volcanic Vino & Mount Etna Visit
Visit Mount Etna, then head to a family-owned estate known to produce the best wines in Sicily.
Begin your day on a scenic drive, passing sloping villages to the indomitable Mount Etna. You'll ascend its famed crater — in an AC'd vehicle — and marvel at the stunning coastal views along a footpath. After, you'll be transported inland over rich, volcanic vineyards to the Murgo Estate winery, owned by Scammacca del Murgo family. After wandering the grounds, get ready to snack like a true Sicilian — where unique house blends meet local favorites in delicious harmony.
