The 5-star boutique hotel Palazzo Vecchio Taormina takes you to discover the "Wine Roads" on the Etna territory, aboard a FIAT 500, an icon of the Italian "Dolce Vita" with a charming vintage look.
The half-day tour, for a maximum of two people, is a romantic and evocative experience that will take you to Castiglione di Sicilia, on the northern slope of the volcano, where two of Etna's DOC wines are produced in historic vineyards: the Nerello Mascalese, with fruity and spicy aromas and a rich and persistent flavor, and the Carricante, fresh and rich with floral notes.
The winery tastings will be paired with a light lunch made with local products. You will continue by visiting the ancient castle of Lauria, with architecture from the Norman-Swabian period.
From here you will be able to admire the splendid views of the Alcantara Valley with its Gurne, natural pools created by the erosion of the Alcantara River, immersed in dense native vegetation. The experience is recommended for curious couples about the history of the area, starting with its typical flavors.
