On Sunday May 25th, more than 800 wineries in Italy will open up to the public for the annual Cantine Aperte day. Last year, more than 1 million people visited. Although the event is held on a huge scale, the traditional hospitality of the wine makers makes it well worth a visit. Often, besides ofcourse the wine tasting, food is offered. We were once treated to a 7-course lunch in a Piemontese winery, with all the best wines to go with the food. Apart from tasting, you can also buy wine.
If you happen to be in Italy on that day, do not miss this event.
There is not a full list available of all the cantine, but you can find the information in the local tourist office, the internet, or download a file for your GPS.
Cheers !
