The Family Safari – Shared Tour is an experience on Mount Etna designed for families with children, ideal for discovering the volcano in a safe, fun and educational way.

The tour takes place inside Bio Parco Cubania, a private property of approximately 40 hectares located within the Etna Park, accessible exclusively with specialized guides and authorized vehicles.

The experience begins at Favazza Etna Winery, the meeting point and departure location of the tour. After a welcome breakfast and a short introductory briefing, guests set off aboard shared Land Rover Defender vehicles together with other participants.

The route crosses vineyards, historic lava flows and volcanic forests, with short stops and easy walks suitable for children.
The guide accompanies the group with a simple and engaging narrative, focusing on flora, fauna and the transformations of the volcanic landscape.

The tour includes panoramic stops overlooking the 1928 and 1971 lava flows, a stop at a centuries-old tree grown on lava, and a view of the entrance to a lava flow cave.

At the end of the excursion, guests return to the winery for a tasting: four glasses of Favazza wines for adults and non-alcoholic alternatives for children, such as fresh vegetable and fruit extracts from our organic garden.

Inside the winery, families are free to explore the property and its beautiful spaces.

Great experience, I recommend it for a wine tasting from Mount Etna, but also for a cheese and charcuterie tasting. The servers were very friendly. I recommend it 100%.

A beautiful place, the owners are kind, attentive, and helpful. Both the estate and the interior are gorgeous, and the tasting is excellent and comprehensive, both in terms of the wines and the accompanying food. Highly recommended! Thank you for this wonderful experience on the slopes of Mount Etna!

A stunning venue nestled in a breathtaking panoramic setting overlooking the Ionian coast, yet protected by Mount Etna, just a few kilometers away. Exceptional hospitality offers a first-class culinary menu, complemented by the region's award-winning Etna wines. A must-visit! Congratulations!

We happened to stop here for a tasting of wonderful local wine and delicious dishes, and we were absolutely delighted. The place, the atmosphere, the wine, and the food were all exceptional. It was a truly magnificent feast filled with unforgettable flavors and experiences. After coming down from the snowy slopes of Etna, everything tasted even better. Highly recommended!

Drove up to Mt. Etna and wanted to stop at a winery on the way back. This place was awesome. They are renovating it currently but are still open for tastings. Had a great time and our host explained all the wines we had and the history behind them. Thank you!
