Full description
You can't buy happiness, but you can drink good wine, which is almost the same thing.
Find your 'liquid happiness' in the Ossola Valley, at theEdoardo Patrone winery: visit the vineyards and cellar to discover the philosophy of heroic winemaking and taste five glasses of wine accompanied by local seasonal products .
A 2-hour experience in which you can relax among green rows of vines and toast to the beauty of life.
What we will do
The appointment is at theAzienda Vitivinicola Edoardo Patrone in Domodossola (VB), at the time chosen for the activity.
On arrival we will sit among the rows of v ines for an open-air tasting, in a panoramic position from which we can admire the Alps and the town of Domodossola from above.
We will be able to taste 5 glasses of wine from the winery (varying according to seasonality), such as Basin spumante extra Dry, Lepontinum Merlot, PSB - Poderi San Brizio, Prunent Stella - Valli Ossolane Nebbiolo and Rosato Testa Rusa. Each wine will be accompanied by an explanation and a tasting of local products, e.g. cold meats, cheeses and other seasonal local specialities.
The tasting may be interspersed or followed by a guided tour of the vineyards and cellar, where the owner Edoardo or his team of collaborators will take us on a discovery of the winery's philosophy of heroic viticulture. We will pass by the production, storage, labelling and ageing rooms, with the duration of the visit varying according to our interest, from a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of one hour.
It will be exciting to learn about the history of this young company, founded by Edoardo Patrone and run together with his wife Stella Tâm Vũ and their team. We will learn more about the history of grape cultivation in the Ossola Valley and the characteristics of local grape varieties such as Merlot and Prünent.
From 1 March to 30 September, the visits and tastings will take place at the Borgata Baceno site, surrounded by vineyards. From 1 October to 28 February, on the other hand, the tastings will take place indoors at the Piazza Cinque Vie venue, with the possibility of visiting the barrel cellar only.
The activity will last about 2 hours, but we can also stay longer after the tasting, to enjoy our moment of 'liquid happiness'!

The experience is suitable for everyone with no age limit. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Wine tasting is reserved for adults only. Minors (or adults who do not drink wine) can participate by paying a reduced fee; water and fruit juices are available for them.
