Alcantara Bike and Wine Tour

Bike in the winery and Alcantara River

Alcantara Bike & Wine is the perfect balance of sport, nature, and taste: an experience that starts with the energy of cycling and ends with the pleasure of a glass of wine in front of the Etna vineyards, leaving you with the feeling of having lived something authentic, complete, and unforgettable.

Alcantara Bike & Wine is much more than a simple e-bike tour: it’s an immersive journey through nature, adventure, and the authentic flavors of Sicily. Riding our pedal-assisted E-MTBs, you will cycle along the banks of the Alcantara River, passing breathtaking landscapes among vineyards, ancient lava flows, and unique scenery at the foot of Mount Etna, enjoying a route that is engaging and accessible to everyone.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to experience and discover:

  • The Alcantara River Park and its spectacular Gorges

  • The enchanting Gurne (vulli), natural pools carved into the lava rock

  • The Alcantara River, cycling immersed in nature

  • The historic Byzantine Cuba

  • The old Alcantara–Randazzo railway, now transformed into a bike path

  • The Circumetnea railway bike trail

  • The famous “vineyard trail” at the foot of Etna

  • Unique panoramas among vineyards, nature, and volcanic landscapes

The tour also includes entrance to the Alcantara Gorges Botanical and Geological Park, making the experience even more complete.

But the real added value comes at the end of the excursion: the chance to turn your day into a full wine and culinary experience.

For an additional fee starting from just €20 per person, you can enjoy a winery tasting, where an expert team will guide you through the vineyards and cellar, sharing the history, traditions, and wine-making processes of Etna wines, before concluding with a tasting designed to highlight every nuance of the territory.
