Full description
Sometimes, to enjoy a truly unique aperitif, you don’t need to change company – you just need to change tables… and get there on board a vintage tractor!
We’ll take you to Ghemme, to the Ioppa Winery, to explore the production rooms, stroll up to the Belvedere and hop aboard a vintage vehicle to drive through the vineyards.
Awaiting you in the open air will be an aperitif amongst the vineyards, featuring three selected wines and typical local produce!
What we will do
We’ll meet at 3. 00 pm at the Ioppa Winery in Romagnano Sesia (NO) , near Ghemme. We’ll be welcomed by our guide, who’ll take us on a journey to discover a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1852.
We’ll start with a pleasant stroll through the vineyards until we reach the Belvedere, a prime vantage point from which to admire the surrounding landscape and discover the features that make this area unique.
We’ll then continue inside the winery, starting with the modern showroom where an evocative family tree will tell us the story of the Ioppa family and a winemaking tradition that began in 1852.
We will then enter the heart of the production process, visiting the areas dedicated to winemaking and ageing, before passing through the Wine Gallery – a journey through soft lighting and historic vintages. The tour of the winery will conclude in the elegant Wine Bar.
At this point, we’ll move to a designated area for a journey steeped in old-world charm: we’ll climb aboard an authentic vintage tractor for a journey of about 5 minutes through the rows of vines in the Novara Hills, until we reach the tasting area in the shade of the vineyards.
Here we’ll take our seats outdoors for a tasting of three selected wines: a rosé sparkling wine made from Nebbiolo grapes, a Colline Novaresi DOC Nebbiolo and a Colline Novaresi DOC Vespolina ‘Coda Rossa’. All this will be accompanied by typical local produce.
The activity lasts approximately 2 hours.
