The Experience

Your journey begins with a warm welcome before setting off on horseback along the peaceful banks of the Alcantara River. Quiet trails, volcanic landscapes, and the historic Byzantine Cuba reveal Sicily's timeless beauty at an unhurried pace.

Around midday, arrive at a charming vineyard for a guided cellar visit, where local winemaking traditions come to life. A light Sicilian lunch is thoughtfully paired with a tasting of regional wines, inviting you to savour the flavours of the countryside.
