Additional Information
This tour allows you to take in a mix of awe and trepidation, prompted by the stunning landscapes and vistas as well as the unrelenting and ruthless strength of the volcano. Its lava flows erase everything in their path, shaping the environment for hundreds of years. However, the volcano also serves as a benevolent guardian to the local inhabitants, providing them with the plentiful produce of the fertile terrain. You’ll get a taste of these bounties first at the honey farm followed by the winery, immersing yourself in the distinct scents and tastes native to this remarkable and contrasting land.

Etna Tour With Lunch At Winery - This was an amazing Tour & highly recommend. Had a private driver for my family of four who picked us up at our Hotel in Taormina. Driver was incredible who made multiply stops along way prior to getting to Mt Etna to walk t our pleasure. We then headed to stop at small honey farm that included wine tasting & other pickings. After we went to Gambino Winery which was Beautiful & had a lunch with wine tastings. It was more like typical Italian Pickings which were great but included plenty of wine. Definitely a Must Tour To Do. Viator, Hands down is a Top Notch Company. I have used in Aruba, Costa Rica & Now Sicily. Don’t Hesitate.

An outstanding trip with a very knowledgeable guide - Giuseppe is clearly an experienced guide and you can hear it right from the moment he starts talking about Mt. Etna. He answered all of our questions and let us explore the area at our own pace. The winery was also a great experience, with tasty lunch and a variety of wines.

Mt. Etna with a Gambino Winery Supremo - The tour was very good. We encountered a lot of traffic, which probably cost us 45 - 60 minutes of time, yet, as a result, when we were at Mt. Etna part, we only went to the lowest portion of the volcano and felt rushed. As such, a few yards away was a lift to the upper portions of the volcano, which certainly would have been much more desirable. Nevertheless, when we reached the Gambino Winery, the experience was much better than we could have expected. The food and wines were superb. Our driver was very good, at one point stopping on the road to eat some fresh, wild blue berries.

A fun way to see and learn about Sicily! - I really liked the number of different activities included in this tour. Richard was a terrific guide, he was attentive, shared a lot of information with us about Sicily and really made sure we were having fun and enjoying the day. The visit to Mount Etna was breathtaking, there are shorter and longer more difficult hiking options. The visit to the honey processing store was great because you could try a lot of different interesting honeys as well as other local products. The winery was beautiful and the tasting was excellent. It was accompanied by different antipasti. I would recommend this tour.
