Wine Tour among exceptional wineries, staying in Workin' Glamp
As we know, Italy is not lacking in quality wines, but wine tours need to be well organized
It is well known that there is no shortage of quality wines in Italy. But to get the most out of the places where they are produced and to savour every aspect of this local excellence - from the soil to the air, from the scent of the wood in the barrels to the sweetness of the freshly harvested grapes and the full-bodied flavour at the table - you need to organise things properly, and Workin' Glamp resorts are here for you.
Organising a wine tour is more complicated than you might think, but Club del Sole, thanks to its strategic partnerships and deep knowledge of local wineries, can help you plan the perfect itinerary.
Let's go in order.
The Olivini family, in the Lugana area: winemakers since 1970, the Olivini family cultivates its vines in the picturesque landscape of Lake Garda, taking care of every detail, from cultivation to vinification.
The Contadi Castaldi family, in the Franciacorta area: founded in 1987, this prestigious and innovative winery is located in one of the 19 municipalities in the Brescia area authorised to produce grapes for the "Franciacorta" denomination, and manages to combine charm, experimentation, modernity and excellence.
What better base for this experience than the Desenzano Lake Village in Desenzano del Garda (BS)?
A little further east, in the hills of the Veneto region on the shores of Lake Garda, you can combine your wine tour with the Valpolicella experience.
The Masi family, Valpolicella: the story of this family began in 1772, when the Boscaini family harvested the first grapes in the prized vineyards of "Vajo dei Masi", a valley in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, and has never stopped since.
What if we wanted to explore Italy's most important white wine region? Well, we would have to move to Friuli Venezia Giulia and stay at the superb Tenuta Primero resort in Grado to organise a unique wine tour of excellence. From here it is possible to reach the prestigious cellars of Villa Chiopris, Villa Russiz and Lis Neris, renowned for their refined wines of great personality. A visit to these wineries is not only an opportunity to get to know an excellent production process, but also to discover the deep link between the territory and its wines. Grado, in particular, is renowned for the production of elegant and aromatic white wines such as Picolit or Ribolla Gialla, as well as structured red wines such as Merlot and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso.
Between vineyard walks, cellar tastings and moments of relaxation in the midst of nature, wine lovers who stay at Tenuta Primero can enjoy an experience that is not only oenological but also regenerating. How? By enjoying the sunset on a boat in the lagoon, departing from the Village Marina, or by playing a round of golf.
