Step into the daily life of a real family of winemakers and discover the most authentic side of Italian food and wine through an intimate, convivial experience far from the more impersonal tourist routes.
Your experience begins among the vineyards and historic spaces of the estate, in the small village of Fornello, in the hills of Valeggio sul Mincio. You will be accompanied directly by the owners of the winery, who will share stories, traditions and interesting facts that have been passed down for generations.
During the visit, you will discover the historic cellar, the wine-making area, and the fascinating 18th-century Barricaia, normally accessible only during guided visits.
But the true heart of the experience comes at the table.
After the tour, you will sit down for lunch or dinner in the winery, prepared directly by a member of our family, with recipes inspired by local tradition and local ingredients. This is not a simple aperitif or a quick food tasting, but an authentic moment of sharing, designed to make every guest feel welcomed as if they were at home.
Each course is paired with 4 wines from the winery, selected to accompany the culinary journey, creating a slow, relaxed, and engaging experience.
The intimate atmosphere and small groups allow you to talk directly with those who produce the wine and cook the dishes, transforming the food tasting into a real encounter with the region, the people, and the local culture.
Perfect for couples, wine lovers and travellers looking for authentic and memorable experiences.
