Considered one of the three premier wine regions of Italy, Friuli is widely regarded as the home of Italy’s best white and dessert wines. This tour combines two winemaking areas that are well known to wine connoisseurs: Colli Orientali and the Collio, which boast celebrities such as Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and the rare Picolit. Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot grigio are also fine international varieties along with some reds of excellent quality and taste such as Cabernet, Schiopettino, Refosco, Merlot and the rare Pignolo.

The tour will start with a visit to a boutique winery in the Colli Orientali del Friuli: you will walk through the vineyards accompanied by the owner who will then show you the wine cellar, explain the particular wine making process of his wines followed by wine tasting. We’ll then proceed towards Cividale del Friuli, driving along a spectacular route which runs along excellent wine estates and beautiful castles. A stop in this charming historical town founded by the Romans in the 1st century B.C. and recently included in the UNESCO Heritage List is a must not only for the its beauty, but also to enjoy the delicious regional food and taste Gubana, an exquisite local dessert.

In the afternoon we'll head to the Collio wine area, making a brief diversion to the Slovenian Brda wine district (Slovenian Collio) driving through a breathtaking hilly countryside dotted little villages and vineyards as far as the eye can see. We will end our day with a visit to another winery with enchanting views over a breathtaking landscape.
