Taste the real Sicily near Mount Etna (not a tourist route)

Join us for a full-day private food experience near Taormina, exploring the most authentic villages at the foot of Mount Etna. From our hazelnut grove with Etna views, to a family-run dairy in Randazzo, Sicilian pastries and a traditional local lunch — this tour is all about real flavors, real people and genuine Sicily.

✅ Private tour (just you, us & your group)

We’ll explore the beautiful area surrounding Mount Etna through:
Linguaglossa and Randazzo, our hometowns. Here, we’ll introduce you to authentic Sicilian life, through encounters, ancient flavors, and stories.

We begin with a visit to our hazelnut grove, a beautiful place with a stunning view of Mount Etna.
Here you’ll meet the grower who takes care of the hazelnut trees, and you’ll taste:
– Handmade hazelnut creams

In the same location, we’ll meet local extra virgin olive oil producers who will guide us through a tasting paired with traditional bread.
Together we will learn how to:

Next we head to Randazzo, a medieval village built in lava stone, where we’ll visit a family dairy founded by the owners’ great-grandfather.
Here we’ll taste:
– Freshly made ricotta
– Provola dei Nebrodi DOP (different ages & flavors)

After the dairy experience, we stop at a local pastry shop for a sweet Sicilian moment:
– Authentic Sicilian cannoli
– Artisanal granita
(The granita selection may vary depending on season).

We then continue to a typical restaurant to conclude the experience with a relaxed local lunch.
Lunch includes:
– A variety of Sicilian appetizers
– A tasting of a first or second course, often:
– Homemade maccheroni with Nebrodi black pig ragù, or traditional
Linguaglossa sausage, served with a glass of local wine

📌 The lunch menu can vary depending on seasonality, while always keeping high quality. 🍷 Upon request, the final lunch can also be arranged in a winery.
