Check out the apps by The Wine Traveller or
the wine guides by Slow Food and Gambero Rosso
for information about locations and hours of
vineyards that are open to visitors.
Renting a car is necessary to explore the hills and valleys where Italy’s best wines are
grown and produced.
The Strade del Vino, or Wine Roads are official routes located in wine regions all over
the country.
Movimento Turismo del Vino (Wine Tourism Movement) is a non-profit organization whose website has cellar information,
itineraries and news about wine-related events.
Wine Events and Festivals
Cantine Aperto is celebrated on the last Sunday of May
where visitors can taste the wines, and buy directly from the vineyard and visit the
wine cellars.
