This immersive experience combines a visit to the charming medieval town of Castelmola with a tour of a local winery situated on the northern slopes of Europe’s highest active volcano.

In Castelmola, you’ll have the chance to sample the town’s signature almond wine and wander through the picturesque streets, enjoy breathtaking views, and visit artisan ceramic shops that showcase the town’s traditional crafts.
