What to expect
You'll start at the first property with a walk through working vineyards, noting vine varieties and microclimates specific to Garfagnana. The winery owner or Simone will show you the cellars—ageing rooms, barrel storage, pressing equipment—before you taste the estate's current releases. Lunch follows, served at the winery with bread, cheese, olive oil and light starters using regional ingredients. The second winery visit in the afternoon follows the same pattern: vineyard time, cellar tour, tasting. Expect steady walking on uneven ground and roughly two to three hours of standing.
