We booked this experience as we joined our son in Italy for a short 5-day break in Sesto Calende – and it was certainly the highlight of the whole trip. The drive was a 19km climb up into the hills which took about 30 mins. Would have been quite tricky to find without a GPS as it is certainly tucked away in a beautiful location – so peaceful. We were greeted by Maddalena in perfect English who directed us to the small car park at the top of a hill. From here we could see some of the vines whose fruit we were looking forward to sampling later on. We were the only Brits taking the tour so we had Maddalena to ourselves. She first showed us round the stainless steel vats where the various stages of fermentation were taking place. She also explained their organic philosophy and determination to use fully every part of the vine so that nothing is wasted. For instance, they produce flavoured rice, pasta, candles and even cosmetics using the stems and leaves. After seeing how all this was produced, we were keen to get down to the tasting. Our ticket included three wines and the Grappa – a wonderful 45% spirit that has to be tasted to be believed! They use two varieties of grape (Nebbiolo and Vespolina) and produce a number of delicious wines including a wonderful Rosé. Guests are seated in their individual parties around wooden tables in a tasteful room which has been designed to enhance the rustic nature of the estate. It seemed that everyone in the household was involved in some way - producing food in the kitchen to accompany the wine or serving up the generous glasses for us to enjoy. The young, school-age girl helping out with the serving had excellent English which made a mockery of our feeble attempts at Italian We were made to feel welcome – everything was very leisurely and there was no pressure to hurry along. The food we enjoyed was carefully selected to help us appreciate the wines and included a delicious cream cheese blended with herbs from the garden, melted gorganzola on crackers and charcuterie produced with horse and donkey. Don’t be squeamish – give it a go! You’ll love it. At the end there is an opportunity to purchase any of the products you have enjoyed and then the only problem is work out how many wines you can squeeze int the suitcase to fly home. There is no pressure to buy anything at all. I cannot recommend this experience too highly. Worth every penny and something you will remember for a long time.

We visited the winery on short notice after a trip to angora, and were looking for regional wine. Unfortunately nobody was around so we could neither taste nor buy local wine. Unfortunately very disappointing to us, since it didn’t say anywhere that you had to register in order to actually buy wine.

Giorgio is a very good and friendly guide. We had a great time to discover Lugano and Morcote with him. We really apreciate his large culture about all the monuments and places we visited. We highly recommand Giorgio. Sebastiano
