Full description
Wine is poetry that appeals to all five senses. And in this experience, you can engage every single one of them!
In Gambellara, in the province of Vicenza, the Menti winery opens its doors to you, inviting you to discover its biodynamic philosophy and the natural wines produced from these volcanic hills.
You’ll stroll through the vineyards, visit the rooms where the grapes are dried, and taste three wines accompanied by artisanal baked goods.
What we will do
We’ll meet 5 minutes before the scheduled time at the Menti winery in Gambellara (VI), where the staff will welcome us to begin our journey of discovery through their wines.
If the weather is on our side, we’ll start with a walk of about 30 minutes through the vineyards on the hillside. We’ll stop a few times to take in the views of the Berici Hills and the Euganean Hills, and we’ll discover why the volcanic soil is one of the most interesting factors shaping the character of Gambellara’s wines.
We’ll then head to the ancient grape-drying tower, where we’ll find out how this unique process works, with the help of photos and videos.
We’ll then head down to the ageing cellar and the wine library, where the oldest wines are stored, before concluding the tour in the winemaking cellar.
Now comes the part we’ve probably all been waiting for: a tasting of three wines, accompanied by artisanal baked goods. We’ll taste a sparkling wine, a still white wine and a macerated wine, all natural wines produced using biodynamic methods.
The experience will last approximately one and a half hours in total.
