Valeggio: Sorsi d’Estate, 3 young wines with guided tour

About this tour

Step into a functioning 18th-century cellar in the village of Fornello where the winery owners guide you through three young wines over two hours. You'll walk amongst barrel-lined stone walls whilst learning how the estate produces its vintages, then taste each pour alongside cured meats, cheese and bread. The experience moves at your pace—ask questions, mention dietary needs, and the owners adapt accordingly. This is wine education rooted in place, not performance.

Highlights

• 18th-century barrique cellar tour with original architecture intact
• Three seasonal wines tasted with owner-led commentary
• Charcuterie and cheese paired with each pour
• Personalised tasting adapted to your preferences and knowledge
• Small-group setting in rural Fornello village

What to expect

Expect to spend two hours moving through cool cellar passages lined with ageing barrels, the air thick with oak and fermentation history. The owners—who know every vintage personally—pour three young wines and explain what makes each distinct: the soil, the vintage conditions, the ageing decisions. You taste, ask, taste again. Bread, salami and cheese arrive to cleanse palates between pours. There's no script here; if you're curious about a particular wine's structure or the region's geology, the conversation follows. If you're new to wine, they'll meet you there too.
