Tours & tastings

Ours is a true farming estate and welcoming you here means sharing our everyday life and the rural heritage and long-standing family tradition that we have inherited.

The experience begins in the vineyard, where our wines are planned and where you’ll learn about our territory and the grapes that interpret it. We’ll then continue to the winery where the wine is made, to breathe our philosophy and the techniques that represent it most fully. Then, in the tasting room or in our garden if weather permits, we’ll try the wines, sharing the fruits of our work, paired with a selection of local produce.

If you’re interested, you can also see our family’s small collection of items from days gone by, things that were once used on the farm and in everyday life here in the countryside, back when we had cattle and grew hemp for fabrics.

Booking is required for winery tours, which are in Italian or English and available from Monday to Saturday. We can also host events, groups and tasting evenings. Just contact us for information!

There are two tasting proposals to choose between to complete the experience:

Pic Nic in the vineyard

Order your picnic basket with a bottle of still or semi-sparkling Barbera or semi-sparkling Pignoletto. The basket contains traditional savoury crescente from the Nuovo Forno bakery in Zola Predosa, Felsineo mortadella, 12-month Parmigiano Reggiano from the Rosola di Zocca dairy, a small bottle of water and two wine glasses. We’ll give you a map of the vineyards and a few tips, then it’s up to you where to take your picnic. We recommend bringing a rug and wearing comfortable clothes.

The picnic basket is for two people and costs €30. We also ask you to bring everything back to us (including rubbish) at the end of your picnic and there is a €30 returnable deposit.

At this time of year, this experience is available from 12pm to 6pm.

Lastly… there’s almost always somebody present at the winery but to provide a better service, if you come on a Monday or Friday between 12pm and 6pm we’ll be ready to welcome you for a wine tasting and a chat (€15 per person).
