Have you ever thought about how much history and technique lies behind a glass of wine? Visiting a winery isn't just about drinking: it's about entering the heart of production , following the wine through every stage.
The vineyard: everything starts from the earth
The tour often begins outdoors, among the rows of vines. Here, the producer discusses the terroir, the climate, and the grape variety , explaining why the soil and exposure make such a difference. Learn how the vineyard is cared for throughout the year: pruning, harvesting, and grape selection.
Winemaking: when grapes become wine
Inside the cellar, you enter the heart of the process: pressing, fermentation, temperature control, racking. Each wine follows its own path, and each producer has specific techniques and choices that make each product unique.
Refinement: time as an ingredient
Oak, steel, or concrete barrels. During this phase, the wine rests, ages, and develops aromas and complexity. This is where we understand how important time and patience are in the world of wine.
From bottling to table
