Image visiting vineyards by train, a comfortable and relaxing trip. Image enjoying with all one’s senses a territory as unique as Europe’s largest active volcano. Image having, in the train, expert accompaniment who will recount every detail worth knowing to you while you move ever upwards from the sea into the Etna mountain park and the Alcantara river park. Image noting to your right the peaks of the Nebrodi mountain chain and, to the left, the panorama of the majestic northern slopes of the volcano. Image, as you move, an entire universe of color and fragrance which changes with every new season.
All this is possible thanks to a special initiative of the Circumetnea railway and the Etna Wine Train. It is a unique way of undertaking wine tourism, of moving along the Etna Wine Road, and of discovering, in complete freedom, the loveliest cellars of the zone.
After getting off the train at Randazzo, you can climb oton the “hop-on-hop-off” Wine Bus, which completes the itinerary, reaching some of the most attractive wine cellars, immersed in these wonderful spots.
Completely free as well to get on and get off at every spot – the Wine Bus passes each and every stop once every two hours – and to visit the cellars and taste the various wines.
Between one glass and the next, it is also possible to decide where to stop for lunch, either in one of the cellars which offers a meal or at one of the typical restaurants present in the villages and hamlets which the Wine Bus passes through.
