Sunday, 10th December, 13 wineries and oil mills of Puglia will open their doors to wine and oil enthusiasts.
Puglia, in Italy, is richly dotted with olive groves and grapevines. Wandering around this beautiful region, as far as the eye can see, you will admire miles of land with young and ancient olive trees and infinite fields with different kind of grapes variety.
The exquisite extra virgin olive oil and the refined wines of Puglia are not only the result of favourable climate conditions, but also the reward of hard working people who love and care of their land.
Wine and olive oil tasting events
Sunday, 10th December 2017, two events dedicated to olive oil and wines of Puglia will take place in the region:
– ‘Cantine aperte a Natale’, meaning wineries open for Christmas and
– ‘LoVolio Extravergine’, a happening related to the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Both events are organized by Apulia Wine Tourism Movement (Movimento Turismo del vino Puglia).
What to expect…
13 wineries and oil mills will open their doors from 10 am letting the tourists, wine lovers and oil enthusiasts see new itineraries, learn more about the producers of wines and oils, taste and purchase their products directly in the place where they are made, while discovering more about the wine and oil culture of Apulia.
The whole day in the winery will be spent in a warm and festive atmosphere, with music and diverse cultural activities. Local wines and food tastings will take place and there will be corners with Christmas gift ideas. These events will be a smart occasion to choose the wines accompanying your next Christmas and New Year celebrations.
