What to expect
Expect a bumpy, physically demanding day in a six-seater Land Rover navigating rough mountain tracks around Europe's largest active volcano. The vehicle will handle steep gradients and uneven ground, so brace yourself for constant movement and dust. Between drives, you'll spend time at two established wineries where staff will walk you through tastings of estate wines paired with local cheeses, cured meats and bread. The gorge section involves modest walking on stable paths with impressive rock formations towering overhead. Bring water and snacks beyond what wineries provide.
