Cantine Aperte, it’s just the beginning: unforgettable wines and experiences for guaranteed and quality wine tourism, which lasts all year round.
Walks with alpacas, visits to caves, tree watching, jeep and boat tours, botanical walks and walks with four-legged friends, swing lessons, cork processing workshops, exhibitions and markets set up inside the cellars. These and many other activities created by the producers of the Movimento Turismo del Vino, for an edition full of innovations that tells the present and future potential of Italian wine tourism from region to region.
The great celebration of wine tourism is upon us. On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th , wineries across the country are preparing to welcome enthusiasts, families and anyone who wants to take a trip out of town, with a new program of activities. Cantine Aperte has written and continues to write the history of wine tourism in Italy, involving hundreds of enthusiasts and producers every year, all under the banner of hospitality and the correct culture of wine.
“ Cantine Aperte represents a true manifesto of the wine tourism sector – he underlines Violante Gardini Cinelli Colombini, president of MTV – and this year we have decided to aim even higher with a calendar of initiatives in the name of creativity, capable of combining wine, nature, culture and well-being. This edition will in fact be the showcase of wine tourism innovations, the opportunity to learn about the new initiatives created by each producer that, from now on, will be available throughout the year.”
A weekend that goes beyond tasting and turns into an authentic journey into the world of Italian wine, to learn more about the history of each producer and the beauty of each territory, region by region. Each winery will be the scene of unique experiences capable of combining tastings of excellent wines with itineraries to discover the territory, cultural moments and entertainment. The offer is enriched with wine trekking itineraries, yoga and pilates among the rows, walks with alpacas, horseback excursions, meetings with beekeepers, botanical tours, tree watching and many other opportunities to fully experience the most evocative landscapes in the surroundings of the wineries. In addition to the outdoor activities, cultural initiatives are also of great importance with craft and cork processing workshops, open-air painting courses, ceramic workshops, photography exhibitions, immersive itineraries among the sculptures and installations that decorate the vineyards and numerous performances with the presence of great artists.
Cantine Aperte will also offer great experiences from a culinary point of view in lunches and dinners with the winemaker with menus designed for the occasion based on seasonal and km0 products. And again: picnics in the vineyard, tastings of Extra Virgin olive oils but also spaces dedicated to food trucks and Mixology, to get to know wine in a new guise, inside cocktails, all to the sound of music with the organization of country-rock concerts, DJ sets and dance lessons.
There will be no shortage of initiatives dedicated to the little ones, such as treasure hunts among the vineyards, visits to educational farms and numerous themed workshops to learn about wine while having fun together with their parents and other children.
Some companies also organize visits inside the caves, others offer the possibility of experiencing a boat tour while others still offer a jeep safari, to admire the most suggestive views of each territory. In every place and in every circumstance, it is certain that Cantine Aperte 2025 will be a unique opportunity to discover and experience the world of wine like never before.
To all enthusiasts, a recommendation: drinking quality wine and in the right quantity is the only way forward . Reaffirming the importance of conscious and responsible wine consumption is, today more than ever, necessary and, in this direction, the collaboration between the Movimento Turismo del Vino and Wine in moderation continues, to continue promoting the correct culture of wine and a healthy lifestyle.
