Famous worldwide for its wines, Italy, is second to none
in scenery and tradition. A trip through the Italian
vineyards, (each one of the 20 Regions in Italy produces
wine, including the islands of Sicily and Sardinia), and
more than 2,000 grape varieties.
Organized Wine Tours
An organized Tour of
wineries is probably the best bet. We can arrange
anything from a day-trip to a tour of several days
which include meals and
accommodations along the way. From
Northwest Italy the Piedmont Region (with Top red
wines), via Lombardy Region (Franciacorta
wines) to Veneto Region (Soave-Valpolicella-Bardolino-Prosecco)
to Northeast Italy,
the Friuli Region, ( with the Top italian white wines).
Visiting an Italian winery can be arranged in
advance. In a few days, you can visit 2 or 3 wine
Regions with many wineries which open their doors to
visitors or you can have a 15 day organized Tour to
explore, from the vineyards of Friuli to the wine
cellars of Piedmont, wine tasting in the Veneto and
Tuscany Regions, combining wine, gastronomy and culture.
Italy Wine Regions
A list of Italy’s wine-producing regions reads
like a regular Italian map - from the Top Italian White
wine producers in Friuli to the top red wine producers
in Piedmont in the north, to top italian suite wines of
Sicily in the south. Some Regions are more famous than
others - like the Chianti Region for white wines in
Tuscany or the red Barolo wine producers of the
Piedmont.
