Description

Regent Seven Seas is proud to partner with Food & Wine Trails, America’s foremost culinary travel company, in the offering of this tour. F&WT tours are always kept intimate and visit sites not typically offered by mainstream travel suppliers. Their tours are always led by a knowledgeable, English-speaking sommelier, wine or food expert, cooking instructor or chef, who enjoys introducing visitors to some of the best and most authentic food and wine of their region.

Indulge in the wine and food of the Mount Etna region alongside a charming, local sommelier who will gladly share their passion for the treasures found in this corner of Italy. In Taormina, which perches on a rocky terrace high above the Ionian Sea, enjoy a guided walking tour past landmarks including the exquisite 15th century Palazzo Corvaja, the bustling Corso Umberto and the marvelous 3rd-century BC Greek theater. You’ll appreciate time on your own to sit in an inviting café or further explore the town’s palaces, squares, staircases and small side alleys.

Learn from your sommelier guide that the Mount Etna appellation is a surging wine region, with ample praise heaped on its vintages by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Food & Wine magazines. You’ll journey to the celebrated Vivera winery, a multi-generational family enterprise producing wines that are elegant, spicy and mineral-driven with depth and complexity, which has earned them ratings of 90+ points from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. Savor a four-course Sicilian lunch paired with five Vivera wines followed by a tour of the estate, the surprisingly elegant flavors of this rugged landscape’s bounty lingering on your tastebuds.
