Oltrepò Pavese Winery Tour with 3 Metodo Classico Tastings

Vineyard walk, cellar stories, three wines to taste

A 2-hour winery visit in Oltrepò Pavese combines a guided walk through the vineyards, a cellar tour with stories of local winemaking tradition, and a tasting of three Metodo Classico sparkling wines produced by the winery. The guide speaks English or Italian. Participants must be 18 or older.

The experience

You start at the winery and walk out into the vineyards with your guide, learning about the local terroir and how the grapes that become Metodo Classico sparkling wines are grown and tended. The rows of vines frame the landscape as your guide explains the traditions that have shaped wine production in this region for generations.

Inside the cellar, the guide walks you through how the winery makes its sparkling wines: the techniques, the timing, the craft that goes into each bottle. You'll hear stories and details about the local winemaking tradition, the kind of knowledge that comes from working in the same place year after year. Then you taste three of the winery's Metodo Classico wines, comparing them side by side and learning what makes each one distinct and how they connect to the territory where they're grown. Taralli, crispy local crackers, come with the tasting.
