ETNA PISTACHIO TOUR
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!
There is a place where volcanic rock meets the Mediterranean’s most precious green. We invite you to Bronte for a unique sensory journey to discover the Pistachio.
You will walk through the 'lochi' (our traditional pistachio groves), where trees root deep into Etna’s 'sciara' (lava flow), and discover the secrets of a heroic harvest, still performed entirely by hand. This is more than just a tour; it is the story of an untameable land that yields unforgettable fruits.
Did you think pistachio farms were only open in the summer? Think again!
Every time of year has its own unique charm: come and discover the different ripening stages of the pistachio, and let yourself be enchanted by its beauty in every season.
The DOSicily company was the pioneer behind the very first "Pistachio Tours," playing a fundamental role in launching the premier "PISTACCHIO EXPERIENCE"—a sensory workshop entirely dedicated to this product.
