Etna by Jeep: Exploring Craters and Lava Caves and Etna Wines

Laura_W, Dec 2025

Outstanding Tour! Fun, educational & delicious.

Alessandro was an amazing tour guide who knows so much about Mt Etna, but presents it in a way that kept our 10 & 13 yo boys engaged the whole time while we all learned. We loved seeing the lava flows, a lava vein cave and pole trekking on Mt Etna. The weather wasn’t the best the day of our trip but we were able to still do everything, miss most of the rain, find the sun and a little snow. Trekking on Mt Etna is like being in a magical other realm and my 10 yo really had a blast. The Sicilian products were also delicious and lunch at the Refugio was amazing. You shouldn’t miss the tour with Alessandro or Mt Etna during your time in Sicily, it’s a must do!

Great Wine Tour!

What a great day exploring the Sicilian My Etna countryside! Our driver Marco was great! We first stopped at La Gelsomina, which we had already been to on a previous tour, but it was still great. We were able to try different wines than tasted on the previous visit. Next we visited a small winery, Antichi Vini do Sicilia, where we toured the small wine making shop and then went upstairs to learn about the different wines and had a lovely lunch outside overlooking the sea. We sampled 4 different wines including a dessert almond wine. We also enjoyed the delicious antipasto, eggplant Parmesan pasta, and dessert. Lastly, we visited Nero winery which had lovely views of Mt Etna and enjoyed a small antipasto platter and samples 3 lovely wines. It was interesting to learn about grapes grown in the region that I have never heard of before. Great tour and a must do for wine lovers!

This was a fabulous small group trip to Palmento Costanzo Winery on the foothills of Mount Etna.... made all the more memorable by the friendliness of our six travelling companions and driver / guide Giovanni, who was very knowledgeable and provided us with a safe and enjoyable ride up and back.
