What To Expect
Food and wine tour from Taormina
Hi we are Chris and Barbara, Sicilian husband and wife. We created this tour to help you discover the food and wine traditions of our small villages at the foot of Etna, about 30 minutes from Taormina.
The tour will last 7 hours and starting from Taormina the first stop will be in Linguaglossa and then in Randazzo, these two locations will be the protagonists of this tour.
These are still authentic places far from the usual tourist itineraries, where you can get to know a piece of real Sicily by meeting some local people and producers of Sicilian excellence.
On this tour you will be able to:
- Meet real locals.
- Taste olive oil from Etna, in Linguaglossa.
- Taste the typical Etna hazelnuts and some hazelnut creams. These two tastings will both take place on a small farm, immersed in a forest of centuries-old hazelnut trees.
-Meet a shepherd and taste the hot ricotta and the typical cheese from the Nebrodi Mountains in a family dairy.
- Taste the real Sicilian artisan granita and the ricotta cannoli in an artisan pastry shop.
- Have a typical lunch in a farmhouse or in a Etna Winery.
Depending on the period, there may be some variations.
Additional Info
- Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
