Wine tastings in Italy: what to know

Wineries often offer the possibility of organizing special events, such as an aperitif or a Dinner in the Vineyard in Monferrato among the rows, to enjoy an intimate and typical atmosphere. The price of a tasting is variable and depends mainly on the presence of a lunch, dinner or aperitif box: it ranges, in fact, between 15€ and 50€ per person.
