Proceeding up until 1000 meters above sea level, you will discover the breathtaking Etna territory. Here, enjoy views of the best Etna vineyards surrounded by frames of lava stones.

After 45 minutes of driving, you will stop at the first venue, an antique family run winery, where you will be welcomed by the owner with a glass of cool rose prosecco.
