A day trip in the Emilia-Romagna countryside, visiting wineries, tasting Lambrusco wine.
The best way to taste and understand wine is from the source. Our guided vineyard discovery takes wine lovers away from the city on a beautiful drive to the countryside outside Parma.
Emilia-Romagna is home to one of the world’s most underappreciated wines, Lambrusco. This sparkling red wine has a long rich history, yet has not received the attention that its Italian brethren have.
Vineyard excursions allow wine lovers to learn about Italian wine through a unique experience: meeting the winemakers at the estate, walking through the vineyards, learning about the grapes, and tasting the wine in the cellar.
This experience provides wine lovers with an inside look at the art of wine making and the pride and devotion with which these individuals approach their work.
In between winery visits, guests enjoy lunch at a quaint local restaurant enjoying local cuisine.
