EXPERIENCES
Discover Italy through the lens - and the glass
Five wine regions. One stylish home base. A journey into the soul of Northern Italy.
You’ve landed in Milan — city of style, design, and unapologetic elegance. But just beyond its polished façades and cosmopolitan energy lies a different Italy. A quieter one. One made of winding country roads, ancient vineyard terraces, and bottles you’ll never find on a shelf back home.
This tour is your key to that Italy.
The Milan Wine Tour isn’t a bus ride with a checklist. It’s a slow, immersive adventure that begins each morning in the city and spirals out into the rolling landscapes of Northern Italy. From the alpine Nebbiolo vines of Valtellina to the golden bubbles of Franciacorta; from the gentle hills of Oltrepò Pavese to the legendary crus of Langhe and Monferrato — each day is a new chapter in a story you’ll taste as much as you'll live.
And every night, you come back to Milan. Same bed. Same comfort. No packing, no stress — just one glass deeper into the journey.
This is for curious travelers who want to feel, not just see. For those who believe wine is about people, places, and moments — not points or labels. For couples, friends, or solo adventurers ready to trade ordinary tours for unforgettable experiences.
The best part? It’s just you (and maybe one other guest). Private, personal, and shaped around what you love — not what the crowd wants.
If you’ve ever dreamed of discovering Italy through its most expressive wines, while staying in its most vibrant city... your glass is ready.

PROGRAM OF THE DAYS
We are happy to accompany you on this journey through the flavors, aromas and stories of our territory. During these days you will have the opportunity to visit selected wineries, meet the producers, discover winemaking techniques and, of course, taste excellent wines accompanied by local specialties.
Each stage of the tour is designed to offer an authentic and engaging experience amidst evocative landscapes, conviviality and wine culture.
Whether you are an experienced wine enthusiast or simply curious, this program is made for you to experience wine in all its nuances.
Ready to toast together? Let's get started!
DAY 1 SUNDAY: ARRIVAL
Based on your flight operations we will build the day especially for you.
Want to visit the more modern aspect of the city? Then we'll go to City Life where new skyscrapers have changed the landscape of Milan.
Do you like more of the romantic Milan? The Navigli is the place for you, especially at sunset when you can sit in one of the quaint clubs and enjoy the popular Spritz.
No time for a city tour? A dinner in a typical Milanese trattoria with its typical dishes will give you a “taste” of the special Milanese atmosphere.
DAY 2 MONDAY: VALTELLINA
After your cappuccino and brioche strictly consumed at the café below, we will leave for Valtellina. We will stop in Lecco, on Lake Como, for a quick coffee and continue on to Sondrio. Here we will visit the cantina Nera, a very special wine bar that has made design and glamour its hallmark. After the tasting we will be ready for lunch. We will choose a typical trattoria where we will enjoy local dishes: pizzoccheri and venison stew accompanied by the wines we have come to appreciate. In the afternoon another visit to a winery very different from the previous one. We will take a tour of the vineyards and understand why the wines in this area are so full-bodied, and at the end of the walk we will taste a particular wine that only this winery produces.
The typical wines of the area that you will taste:
INFERNO, VALTELLINA, SASSELLA, GRUMELLO, DEL NEGUS.
In the evening we will decide whether to stay in the area for dinner or return and have dinner on the lake or in Milan.
DAY 3 TUESDAY: VALPOLICELLA
After a leisurely breakfast in Milan, we will set off to a land that has made wine an art and a culture: the "Valpolicella". A day designed to be surprised by enchanting landscapes, decisive flavors and authentic stories, to be experienced together with curiosity and lightness.
We will dedicate the morning to visiting a **first winery**, nestled in the hills where great wines such as Valpolicella and Amarone are born. We will walk among the vineyards, enter the cellars carved into the rock, listen to the stories of those who have been cultivating this land with passion for generations. And of course, we will enjoy a **guided tasting**: a journey into the aromas and flavors of the territory, which will amaze us with every glass.
For lunch, we will stop at a **typical local farmhouse**, where Veronese cuisine will know how to win us over with authentic and tasty dishes: risottos, fresh pasta, braised meats and traditional desserts. All accompanied by a good local wine, because even at the table the territory continues to tell its own story.
In the afternoon we will visit a **second winery**, different in history and style, but equally fascinating. We will discover other labels, other methods, another vision of wine, always rooted in a deep and generous culture. It will be a more intimate time, where we can deepen, compare and savor at our leisure.
The typical wines of the area that you will taste:
VALPOLICELLA, SOAVE, BARDOLINO, LUGANA, CUSTOZA, AMARONE.
At the end of the day we will return to **Milan for dinner**, taking with us the taste of a true, complete experience, lived together among glasses, hills and stories.
DAY 4 WEDNESDAY: LANGHE/MONFERRATO
After breakfast we will leave for the Langhe. This area produces many world-renowned wines that you will have the opportunity to taste.
The first winery is very popular in the area because it is the oldest and family-owned. The owners, two very nice husband and wife, will guide us through the expanses of their vineyards. At the end they will let us taste their products in the barrel room.
We will have lunch in a restaurant where the cook is the owner's grandmother, born and raised among the narrow streets of this small village.
In the afternoon we will move to Casale Monferrato for another tasting of very different wines because the young owner has dedicated himself to the production of Barolo in all its possible variations.
The typical wines of the area that you will taste:
BARBARESCO, BAROLO, NEBBIOLO, BARBERA D'ALBA, DOLCETTO D'ALBA, CHARDONNAY, SAUVIGNON, CABERNET, MERLOT.
In the evening we return to Milan and have a gourmet dinner to taste more typical dishes.
DAY 5 THURSDAY: FRANCIACORTA
We will leave Milan after breakfast, ready to leave the city behind and immerse ourselves in a completely different atmosphere of hills, neat vineyards and crisp air. Our first stop will be one of Franciacorta's historic wineries, where we will begin our journey into the world of Italy's most famous bubbles.
Among golden rows and silent barriques, we will be told about the stages of production, the secrets of the classic method and the philosophy behind each bottle. The tasting will be a special moment, guided, full of flavors and details, in which we will be able to capture all the nuances of this unique territory.
After the first winery experience, we will stop for lunch in a typical trattoria, where the local cuisine will win us over with genuine dishes, paired of course with a glass (or two!) of Franciacorta. It will be a convivial, relaxed moment, where even time will seem to slow down.
In the afternoon we will visit a second winery, perhaps smaller and more familiar, where we can experience even more direct contact with those who create wine every day. More tasting, new emotions, more bubbles to discover, each with its own personality
The typical wines of the area that you will taste:
BELLAVISTA, CA' DEL BOSCO, MOSNEL, BERLUCCHI, MARCHESI ANTINORI.
Concluderemo la giornata rientrando a Milano per cena, arricchiti da una giornata all’insegna del gusto, della bellezza e della condivisione.
DAY 6 FRIDAY: OLTREPO' PAVESE
After a relaxed breakfast in Milan, we will start our day with a first stop that, I assure you, will leave its mark: the **Certosa di Pavia**. Imposing and refined, it will be like entering another era. We will walk through the cloisters, admire the works of art, the details carved in stone, and breathe in the beauty of a unique place suspended in time.
Then we will set out again for the **Oltrepò Pavese**, an area I know well and love particularly well. Here the **first winery** will be waiting for us, nestled in the green hills: we will be told about the wines directly by those who produce them, with passion and authenticity. We will have a guided tasting and there will be time to enjoy every sip, every scent, every tale that comes from the earth.
For lunch we will stop at a **typical trattoria**, specially chosen to let you taste the true flavor of the land. Traditional dishes, local ingredients, generous portions and the warmth of a sincere cuisine: it will be a convivial, simple and special moment.
In the afternoon we will visit a **second winery**, different in proposal but equally engaging. Each producer has his own style, his own vision, and it will be a pleasure to listen to them as we taste new wines, comparing aromas and stories that speak of hard work, passion and nature.
The typical wines of the area that you will taste:
RIESLING, PINOT GRIGIO, MOSCATO, MALVASIA.
We will return to **Milan for dinner**, after an intense day full of emotions. We will have had a complete experience together: art, culture, landscape, flavors. And above all, sharing.
DAY 7 SATURDAY: DEPARTURE
Today is the day of last things to do!
Last cappuccino at the café, last chat with friends, last visit to Milan, last moment to buy the last souvenirs.
But it will not be a sad day because the memories of fun times spent together will be the only emotions you will take home with you.

MEET YOUR
WINE EXPERIENCE CURATOR
I am Mino Di Vita, and when I propose a wine tour, I don't just take you from one winery to another-I take you inside a world made of stories, passions and territories that I know deeply. I have walked these hills, photographed them, tasted them, and every time I return with a guest, it is like seeing them again for the first time, through their eyes.
As an wine experience curator, I personally select the wineries, the producers and the routes. I like to show people authentic places, those where wine is not just to be drunk, but to be listened to, to be understood, to be felt. I talk to winemakers, translate stories, make connections. And if there is toast to be had, I am always ready to do it with joy and expertise.
I'm a big fan of wine and local cuisine, and I know how to make every stop a special moment-whether you're a connoisseur or just a lover of good things.
My goal? That you feel welcomed, at ease, unhurriedly involved, and that you return home not just with a few bottles to remember, but with vivid and intense emotions.
