Guided tours, tastings, virtual tours, e-bike and horseback tours to discover up close the places where one of the noble international vines, Pinot Noir, is born.
In Codevilla, in the heart of Oltrepò Pavese, Cantina La Genisia invites wine enthusiasts to live a unique and immersive experience in the world of Pinot Noir and Metodo Classico. With the arrival of summer, the exclusive Wine Experiences offered by La Genisia become the perfect opportunity to explore not only the secrets of wine production, but also the territory that enhances its qualities.
Summer with La Genisia, between e-bikes, swimming pool and tastings
In the meantime, here are some activities designed for the summer. Every Sunday in July and the first Sunday in August (Sunday, August 3), the “Summer with La Genisia” experience begins in the cellar at 10 am with the delivery of e-bikes for a panoramic tour of about 30 km through the vineyards, which leads to the Salice Terme Golf Club. Here you can enjoy a light lunch, followed by a refreshing dip in the pool until 4:30 pm, and then return to the company just in time for guided tours of the Torre Vinaria and the cellar, with a final tasting of Brut Metodo Classico, Riesling and Pinot Nero La Genisia, accompanied by a platter of local cured meats and cheeses.
In addition, every Thursday in July (10, 17 and 24) from 6 to 11 pm, the panoramic terrace of the winery opens its doors for evenings dedicated to Pinot Noir DOCG and refined local snacks, a convivial occasion to taste classy wines immersed in the cool of the sunset. The tastings are a true invitation to discover the charm of the territory and the quality of La Genisia wines, in a relaxed atmosphere.
Guided tour of the cellar, virtual reality and tasting
The tour begins with a guided tour of the historic cellar and the imposing Torre Vinaria, a symbol of the ancient winemaking tradition of Oltrepò Pavese. Here, visitors can discover every phase of the sparkling winemaking process, from the refinement to the maturation of the wines.
Once you reach the top of the Tower, the experience is enriched thanks to the immersive technology of virtual reality. With the innovative VR Wine La Genisia platform, guests can literally walk among the rows of vineyards in a three-dimensional environment, exploring the hills of Oltrepò as if they were really there. It is a virtual journey that breaks down physical barriers, allowing you to experience the authentic atmosphere of the vineyard and the care reserved for each bunch of grapes.
The tour culminates in a welcoming panoramic room, where visitors can taste the best wines of La Genisia. Among the excellent wines offered, the Pinot Nero DOCG and the Extra Brut Metodo Classico stand out, the flagship of the winery, the result of careful and respectful winemaking of the territory.
E-bike tour among the vineyards
For those who want to combine their passion for wine with their passion for sports, La Genisia also offers e-bike tours. Along the paths of the vineyard hills, guests can pedal between the rows, breathe in the fresh air of the Oltrepò Pavese and admire breathtaking views. The experience includes a stop in the cellar for a tasting of the fine wines, an authentic expression of the terroir.
