Hi we are Chris and Barbara, Sicilian husband and wife. We created this tour to help you discover the food and wine traditions of our small villages at the foot of Etna, about 30 minutes from Taormina.

The tour will last 7 hours and starting from Taormina the first stop will be in Linguaglossa and then in Randazzo, these two locations will be the protagonists of this tour.

A lovely food experience and a great day out - Chris and Barbara are a delightful couple and excellent hosts on this tour. They are born and bred in small towns near Etna and are proud to share their heritage. We had a fantastic day with them on the tour and we were very pleased to meet real people making local products: Rosario the Hazelnut producer, Cinzia(?) making her daily batches of cheese, Salvatore with his olive oil and his encyclopedic knowledge of culinary plants, trees, vines and aromatics. At lunch we had a great selection of Sicilian meats, cheeses and dishes with local wine. The whole tour took place within sight of the smoking summit of mother Etna.
