3.Pozzo di Gaspare Farm Guided Tour with Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 2 hours · from $41Best value

Meet guide and owner Giuseppe at Pozzo di Gaspare, a 42-hectare farm near Catania. Walk among olive, blood orange, and almond trees, see an 18th-century hand-dug well, and finish with the farm’s EVO oil, bread, olives, cheeses, cured meats, and orange salad.

“Walking on handcrafted family crafted magma stones and taking in the views of Mount Etna, while learning and witnessing the dedication and craft and hearing the knowledge that Giuseppe has about oranges, olives and almonds is a truly wonderful experience that any self certified foodie (like me) adores and searches for. Then to be treated to a local Sicily meal that was grown on the farm that you walk around is truly one the best experiences that can be had. If you have the opportunity please go and visit.”
