Etna Wine Tour: Monti Sartorius, Grotta dei Ladri and Gambino Winery Tasting
This Etna tour pairs a walk on the volcano with a wine tasting. The day starts on the north side, among lava flows and quiet craters, with a guide who explains how fire and earth shaped the mountain. It ends at a winery, where the wines come from vines grown on the same volcanic ground. The route takes in the Sartorius Mountains and the Grotta dei Ladri lava tunnel, then moves to the Gambino Winery for a guided tasting led by experts. Walking and tasting get equal weight, so the tour suits anyone who wants to see Etna and taste what grows on it. Alcohol at the winery is served only to participants aged 21 and over. If children are in the group, the winery proposes a tasting with a special non-alcoholic menu.
