At the Vini Barani winery, immersed in the Emilian countryside, an experience that combines history, authentic flavours and dreamlike views awaits you.

What we will do
The meeting is at the Vini Barani winery, near Vigoleno Castle (PC), where we will be welcomed by Stefano or another team member.
We will start with a short walk along a panoramic path to admire the different types of vines cultivated. Stefano will accompany us to tell us many interesting facts about the area and historical facts about Vigoleno Castle, a 10th-century gem included among the most beautiful villages in Italy and awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club.
We will reach a panoramic terrace among the vineyards, where the guided tasting will begin. Here we will taste the winery's four finest still wines, including the elegant Santa Maria, discovering the secrets behind each label and the deep connection with this territory.
To accompany our glasses, we will be served D. O. P. cured meats, the famous Piacenza fried cake and a traditional dessert, usually an apricot and plum tart. Stefano will return to the farm to pick up the freshly prepared dishes and serve them to us directly on the terrace. .. on a quad bike!
The total duration of the experience will be about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but the panoramic terrace will remain at our disposal even after the tasting, so we can continue to relax, chat and enjoy the wonderful view.
