The Volcanic Terroir Experience
Step inside the serene elegance of a historic Sicilian estate for an immersive culinary journey. Your experience begins in the heart of the territory, exploring ancient vineyards and a traditional Palmento (historic wine press house). You’ll indulge in a curated tasting of local artisanal cheeses and estate-grown wines, setting the stage for a hands-on masterclass where centuries of tradition meet modern gourmet standards.
A Private Kitchen in a Historic Palazzo
Inside the grand halls of an authentic palazzo, you will master the techniques behind Sicily’s most iconic dishes. Under expert guidance, you can choose to perfect the art of Hand-Rolled Pasta paired with seasonal volcanic sauces, or craft the legendary Arancino, discovering the structural secrets of this street-food icon. For those with a sweet palate, our Almond Pastry session reveals the delicate balance of high-altitude almond flour and estate dessert wines.
A Sophisticated Sicilian Lunch
The experience culminates in a seated, multi-course lunch where you will enjoy the fruits of your labor. Every dish is expertly paired with our premium estate labels, allowing you to appreciate the unique minerality of Etna’s wines. We provide all professional ingredients and a signature apron; we simply ask that you come prepared to dive into the authentic, vibrant soul of Sicilian gastronomy.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Wanderung erlebt. Sebastiano ist ein toller Guide, der für den Ätna “brennt” und zusätzlich zu dieser Begeisterung fundiertes Wissen über die Natur und den Vulkan mitbringt. Toller Service, dass EtnaWay auch noch Ausrüstung (in unserem Fall die vergessenen Wanderschuhe) bereitstellt. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert!!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Tour mit Christiano! Er hat super viel gewusst und keine Möglichkeit ausgelassen uns mehr über Aetna, seine Entwicklung und auch die Geschichte drumherum zu erzählen! Wir waren mit 2 Kindern (4 und 8 Jahre) unterwegs, war super!! Wanderschuhe sind besser als Sportschuhe ;) Sehr empfehlenswert.

Hiking in Etna was an incredible experience. Gianpaolo is very easy going and a great guide who knows a lot about Etna. Not only did he taught us a lot about vulcanos, but also how Etna has shaped the Sicilian culture.
Our group got a bit of a cloudy day, but has Gianpaolo kept telling us, Etna is never boring! And as the clouds moved, we did get to see great views.
It was a great hike (we also got to visit a lava tunnel), and I learned a lot more than I was expecting!

We took the top craters hiking tour. It was a high quality hiking experience. Organized very well, in an enjoyable and safe way. Christian, the guide, was super friendly, speaking English, German and Italian. Truly unforgettable experience.
