DESCRIPTION
We propose you to discover the most vintaged region of Ticino: the Mendrisiotto!
The starting point of the experience is in Balerna and once you meet your guide you will be accompanied along the entire route by bike.
Ready, steady, go!
The first spot is a visit to a traditional winery in the region which will be an opportunity to learn more about the wine making process. Back on the saddle of your bike, you will continue the ride and explore the vineyards of Mendrisiotto, a region often referred to as "the Tuscany of Switzerland".
​
The guide will organize a tasting of the excellent Merlot wine in the middle of a vineyard. You will learn to recognize the aroma and flavors of a good glass of wine under the beautiful "pergola" and with a breathtaking view over the entire Mendrisiotto!
​
Get back on the saddle again! Following the guide who will lead you through some vineyards, you will reach again the starting point of the excursion, where the grand finale will be served: a tasting of regional wines accompanied by a rich aperitif prepared with regional products!
A unique experience suitable for both beginners and wine lovers.
