Tour in the natural reserve of the Alcantara Gorges and wine and food tasting

During this private tour with a comfortable car, you can visit the National Reserve of the Alcantara Gorges. This is a private tour, just for you, to guarantee you the highest standards.

Several thousand years ago, the bed of the Alcantara river was blocked by a lava flow from Etna. Since the lava was cooled much more quickly by water, it crystallized in the form of columns.

And after this wonderful tour you can taste different types of red and white wine, with local organic products - cheeses, cold cuts, ham, olives, bruschetta and eggplant caponata, dried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and fresh bread. All in an authentic Sicilian villa where every object is part of the history of the people who live there every day. So besides enjoying the natural beauties you will be able to live an authentic sensory experience out of the ordinary conventional organized tours.

Several thousand years ago, the bed of the Alcantara river was blocked by a lava flow from Etna. Since the lava was cooled much more quickly by water, it crystallized in the form of columns. Over the following millennia, the river naturally eroded a canal through these columns: impressive gorges and ravines were born.
- visit the columns, bathe in the fresh water of the river, sunbathe on the rocks and relax in the Alcantara park. Your private English or French guide will describe this natural phenomenon, Etna and Sicily.
