About Catania
Catania sits on volcanic soil that gives Sicilian wine its character, and the slopes of Mount Etna are where that story is best tasted. A day trip pairs black lava landscapes with cellar visits and local produce, as on the Etna Tour and Wine Tasting Experience, or combines wine with a swim-stop at the Alcantara Gorges on the Mt. Etna, Wine & Alcantara Gorges Tour from Catania with Lunch.

Frequently asked questions
The wine grown on Etna's volcanic slopes is the draw: nerello mascalese and carricante vines planted in black lava soil at high altitude. Day trips pair a cellar visit and guided tasting with the volcano itself, often adding local produce like honey, olive oil, pistachio and cheese from the villages along the way.
