Why not combine trekking with the pleasure of anaperitif? Why not try a different experience that blends a passion for nature with a love of fine wine? Aperitif in the Vineyard: a way to spend time in a natural setting while sipping excellent local products.
From Piedmont to historic Venetian villas, from the hills of Vicenza to the castles of Val D’Orcia, passing through the secret vineyards of Venice and the enchanting places at the foot of Mount Etna, Italy offers a multitude of vineyards and locations specialized in food and wine tourism.
A Poetic Experience
The nose is intoxicated by the scent of grapes and the taste sweetened by the notes of a fine wine in the glass while the eyes wander among the vines.
Many family-run agritourisms now offer picnics among the rows of their vineyards at aperitif time, in outdoor settings arranged with pallets, blankets, comfortable cushions and armchairs, and atmospheric lighting.
More Than Just Wine
There are many options: you can enjoy just wine or pair it with boards of typical local products. More and more wine lovers and enthusiasts of all ages choose to avoid the crowded city aperitif in favor of a much more poetic and enchanting setting: the vineyard at sunset.
You can savor the best wines and breathe in the very atmosphere where they grow, all paired with food and typical cheeses.
The chosen winery will offer you traditional products, such as a board of cured meats or other dishes, in a tasting that combines nature and flavor.
Local Wine Tourism: A Sustainable Choice
Why Choose an Aperitif in the Vineyard?
Not only are these choices delightful for the palate and great for socializing: having an aperitif in the vineyard with a tasting at a local winery is a way to support the local economy and promote seasonal produce.
By buying local products, we help the economy, culture, and techniques to thrive. Supporting local production means preserving cultures that might otherwise disappear, thus safeguarding traditions for future generations.
Every bottle will be much more than just a wine.
More Genuine Products
By supporting local products for your aperitifs, you can help preserve the unique qualities of the territory, as well as new innovative agricultural realities that choose organic and zero-kilometer paths.
Local grapes, like all local products, are fresher because they haven’t traveled long distances to reach the barrels, losing nutrients along the way. Being healthier and having a more natural flavor, these foods also make a difference for your taste buds.
Moreover, to enjoy an aperitif in the vineyard you won’t have to go far from home: many events take place in every region of Italy, offering you the chance to take a trip without polluting and share a meaningful experience.
