What To Expect
Erbusco
Upon arrival in Franciacorta, at about 10:00 AM, you will visit the first winery. The first stop is a premium winery, meaning a renowned historical winery or a boutique winery. The hospitality staff will introduce you to the Franciacorta wine region, its history, and some facts about its development. You will learn everything about the production method (the same for Champagne), having the chance to observe the journey of the grapes through the cellar. The guided visit is followed by a tasting of Franciacorta DOCG wines.
Rovato
At noon, after a short drive, you will reach a charming little trattoria, where you will enjoy a three-course menu. The menu could include dishes from the tradition of Franciacorta and Brescia, such as manzo all’olio di Rovato, braised beef cooked slowly in olive oil and served on a bed of polenta, or Clusane’s baked stuffed tench, Franciacorta Risotto, or casoncelli (ravioli pasta stuffed with bread, cheese, and meat).

Exceptional Wine Tour of the Franciacorta Region

5.00Highly recommend this fun, relaxing, comfortable, and informative wine tour of the beautiful Franciacorta region. From the beginning, Beatrice was so easy to communicate with as we planned our day. Our driver Nicolo was fun, professional, and made for a very nice ride to and from Milano and around Franciacorta. The sampling of a smaller vineyard and a large winery was perfect. The lunch was spectacular- delicious, home cooked local cuisine with very friendly people! We tasted very delicious franciacorta wine and brought back with us a number of bottles to enjoy at home and remember this very special day.

Discovering Franciacorta

5.00Discovering Franciacorta with this Operator tour is really simple. The proposals always leave choice to personal preferences and all of excellent level according to your needs. Recommended especially to get to know the smaller wineries (where you will almost always find the really more passionate people) and especially the locals to taste the local specialties (one better than the other) I will definitely repeat... Highly recommended

5.00We had a lovely full day private tour visiting RICCI CURBASTRO and BARONE PIZZINI wine estates. Both places definitely worth visiting. Our lunch at LOCANDA AL DOSSELLO was excellent. Driver took us safely and in time.
Real discovery of Franciacorta wines

5.00We visited 2 cellars: Mirabella and Antica Fratta. the two visits were complementary: one rather technical, the other more historical. The 2 guides were very competent and kind, and knew how to answer all our questions in a good mood. We tasted 3 wines at each cellar, the 2nd was careful to offer us 2 different from the first 3 wines. The lunch was very good, typical 4-course meal, with choice of dishes and explanations. And all without waiting, which allowed us to catch up on the 45 minutes delay because we had overflowed on the time of the first visit. The whole activity was very qualitative
Great idea to get to know the area

5.00I think this is my first ever review but I had to share this wonderful experience. We were 7 people having an amazing day in Franciacorta with a stop at two wineries and an amazing restaurant for lunch. Everything was perfectly prepared and communication was easy and to the point. I would definitely recommend booking a tour here!
Very pleasant day

4.00Beautiful day with friends with the discovery of 2 new wineries and a good lunch. Well recommended and well organized tour. If I had to find a minimum of criticism I would say that the time is a bit tight between the visit to the cellar in the morning, then lunch and another visit to a new cellar, despite the fact that the journeys were minimal. Good!
