Open days are regularly held and wine festivals are organized everywhere. Would you like to go on a wine trip to Italy and learn all about the various wineries? We would love to tell you more about it!

The history of Italian wine estates

That Italian wines are amazing is beyond dispute. The wine tradition in Italy dates back more than thousands of years – evidence has been found that the Etruscans were already engaged in viticulture hundreds of years before Christ. Today, Italy is the country that produces more wine than any other country in the world. It is therefore not surprising that you can visit thousands of Italian wineries. Do you want to see and taste how Italian wine is made? Then stay at an authentic Italian agriturismo and wine farm and enjoy everything the country has to offer.

The most beautiful wine estates in Italy

A region you definitely must visit if you love good wine: Piedmont. Here you can enjoy Barolo, a magnificent wine that ranks high on the list of many wine lovers. But you can also go to Veneto for an excellent Amarone, or would you rather toast with a glass of Soave? In the boot of Italy, in Puglia, you will also find a great wine region. More of an island person? Then enjoy fantastic wines in Sicily.

If you are going on holiday to Tuscany, you naturally won't want to miss the famous Chianti region. Tuscan wine and Chianti are often mentioned in the same breath: this red wine is world-famous. But there are even more wine gems to be found in Tuscany: for example, the Maremma region, situated by the sea, or the high-altitude Montepulciano. Extra tip: if you travel to Tuscany in September, you can experience the 'Cantine Aperte'. During this event, Tuscan wineries open their cellars, which is accompanied by various festivities. You don't want to miss that!
