The surrounding vineyards (depending on the season and the weather), to understand the particularities of the soils, grape varieties, and cultivation techniques.

The experience ends with a personalized tasting, where you can freely exchange with the producer about their vintages and winemaking choices. The atmosphere is friendly, intimate, and enriching, far from the usual tourist circuits.
