Organic Wine Tasting near Rimini: 5 wines with local food

Taste five organic wines where the vines meet the valley view

Organic wine tasting at San Valentino, the closest organic winery to Rimini, where you taste five representative wines including Sangiovese and Rebola on a panoramic terrace overlooking Valmarecchia Valley, paired with a platter of local artisanal cold cuts, cheeses, fresh bread and organic olive oil. The experience runs 90 minutes with a live guide in English or Italian. A cellar tour visiting the barrique room is available as an option. Minimum age is 18. Public transportation and parking are accessible nearby.

The experience

How do you taste wine the way locals do, without leaving the Rimini area? San Valentino sits 15 minutes by car from the city center, reachable by bus or car, and the tasting happens on a terrace that opens onto the rolling hills of Valmarecchia Valley. You'll taste five organic wines: the Sangiovese (what Romagna is known for), the Rebola (the local white), and three others including a Syrah and Cabernet Franc, each one poured by a guide who walks you through what organic viticulture means and why these particular labels won awards. The wines arrive with a platter of artisanal cold cuts and regional cheeses, fresh bread, and the winery's own extra-virgin olive oil.

The tasting itself is structured around learning: the guide explains the aromas and traditions behind each pour, so you're not just drinking but understanding what you're tasting. If you want to go deeper, you can add a cellar tour that takes you into the barrique room to see how the wines age. The whole thing takes 90 minutes. English and Italian are spoken. German and French are available on request.
