Wine tastings in Italy: what to know

Italy offers a wide diversity of wineries and estates within a few kilometers of the territory's main cities. The most popular areas are Franciacorta, Valdobbiadene, Monferrato, Langhe, Oltrepò Pavese, Chianti, Val d'Orcia, and Valpolicella.

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.
