wineries associated with the Umbria Wine Tourism Movement as part of Cantine Aperte in Vendemmia, an experiential version of the successful format created by the Wine Tourism Movement.
Many activities and experiences are proposed on Saturdays 21st and 28th and Sundays 22nd and 29th September, during the most important moment of the wine-growing year.
From hand-picking to foot-pressing, whether they are direct experiences that require first-hand involvement or that allow you to witness the processing phases up close, Umbria offers wine lovers the chance to participate in Cantine Aperte in Vendemmia again this year. Dozens of wineries that are members of Movimento Turismo del Vino Umbria are taking part in the initiative on Saturdays 21 and 28 and Sundays 22 and 29 September, an experiential version of the successful format created by Movimento Turismo del Vino. Not just educational grape harvesting, but also entertainment, tastings and experiences – including tasty snacks based on typical local products, picnics immersed in the vineyards and brunches in the cellar with garden products -: for two weekends the Umbrian wineries are opening their doors for a sensory journey that celebrates the arrival of the autumn season and the grape harvest. ” Cantine Aperte in Vendemmia is certainly a precious event for all wine enthusiasts who can become ‘winemakers for a day ‘”, underlines the President of Movimento Turismo del Vino Umbria Giovanni Dubini . ” The cellars, in fact – he continues – reveal themselves to visitors allowing them to get to know the complex production process behind a bottle of wine. The protagonists are not only the great Umbrian wines but also the Dop, Igp products and the traditional specialties that the MTV cellars offer, for a journey into the most authentic taste of the territory “. The Umbrian cellars that adhere to the initiative are 15 : Terre Margaritelli, Roccaforte, Le Cimate, Terre de La Custodia, Goretti, Azienda Agricola Carini, Saio, Moretti Omero, La Veneranda, Tenuta Alzatura, Agricola Mevante, La Fonte, Palazzone, Chiorri, Arnaldo Caprai.
