Intrepid diners begin the journey at Muttini, a 30-year-old building decorated with cannons and anchors, followed by a guided tour where they are equipped with flashlights guiding them down a lighted path through the lava tunnel. The experience continues with a five-course dinner featuring locally-sourced ingredients with wine pairing where guests will enjoy an intimate meal in a secluded destination that few have ever seen firsthand.
