Family Tasting, dedicated baskets and walks immersed in nature, here are some activities proposed by Umbrian wineries also designed for the little ones.
Snacks, treasure hunts, picnics in the vineyard: even children can find their space in the cellar and experience its most authentic dimension, linked to contact with nature. Certainly not glasses of wine, but organic juices and genuine food produced on the farm : who said that wine tourism designed for parents should exclude the little ones?
Spring is the perfect season to rediscover the pleasure of being outdoors, and the Umbria Wine Tourism Movement invites nature lovers of all ages to experience activities designed to make wine an engaging discovery even for the youngest. Umbrian wineries are preparing to welcome guests with initiatives tailored for families.
Prosciutto di Norcia PGI, bread and oil, fruit juice and treasure hunt with a final prize: this is the proposal of the winery Scacciadiavoli , historic winery of Montefalco.
The Carini Company in Perugia welcomes young visitors with corners dedicated to play and creativity, non-alcoholic aperitifs with company products and the opportunity to explore the company, in contact with the animals present, sheep, pigs and geese. The large panoramic bench Big Bench #248 becomes the perfect place for a picnic among the olive trees, while during the tour of the cellar you can discover the production phases of wine and other company products.
The Roccafiore Cellar in Todi it defines itself as a “family-friendly” winery and thus offers the “family Tasting”, with a tour of the winery and vineyards, followed by a guided tasting of wines for adults and fruit juices for the little ones, who can have fun with coloring sheets.
Experiences in the cellar also become an opportunity to spend time immersed in nature: Terre de La Custodia , located in the hills of Montefalco, offers a year-round attentive welcome to families, with areas dedicated to children in the tasting room, placemats to color and a child-friendly “aperitif” with fruit juices and small snacks. For those who love nature, it is possible to organize picnics with menus dedicated to children or participate in demonstration activities of the wine supply chain, led by the winemaker and the brand ambassadors of the cellar.
Arnaldo Caprai also offers the possibility of organizing tours among the vineyards, while in the wine shop a children’s area has been set up with tables and materials for drawing. The “Kid Experience” includes a non-alcoholic cocktail and a winemaker’s sandwich for the little ones, while during the picnic the children will receive a basket made just for them: active from April 22nd to September 30th the Pic-Nic in Vigna is the ideal experience to discover the landscape surrounding the winery. A Wine Educator will accompany you during the visit to the vineyard and the winery and then, at the end of the guided tour, a picnic with lunch in the vineyards.
La Veneranda offers a half-price tasting plate for children, while Cantina Farchioni welcomes families with non-alcoholic aperitifs, small snacks and demonstration activities on the wine supply chain, accompanied by winemakers and brand ambassadors.
This spring, the Umbria Wine Tourism Movement transforms a visit to the winery into an opportunity for discovery for the whole family. A journey into the heart of Umbria where wine becomes an experience, a game and sharing, giving the little ones moments of fun and adults the opportunity to savor the territory in all its nuances.
