Full-day Self-guided Franciacorta Wine Tour with Lunch

Take a self-driving day tour of the vineyard-clad hills of Erbusco, enjoy wine tasting at 2 wineries, and enjoy a traditional lunch with this Franciacorta tour!

The first stop, at about 10:30 AM, is a niche winery. The visit includes an introduction to the Franciacorta wine region, its history, and some facts about its development. The hospitality staff will explain to you the method of production (the same of the Champagne!), showing you the journey of the grapes through the cellar. The guided visit is followed by the tasting of two Franciacorta DOCG wines.

After this lovely tasting, you'll take your car and reach a charming little trattoria or a cozy agriturismo. There you will enjoy a three courses lunch. The menu includes traditional dishes from the Franciacorta area such as manzo all’olio di Rovato, braised beef cooked slowly in olive oil served with polenta, or Clusane’s baked stuffed tench, or Franciacorta risotto, or casoncelli (ravioli pasta stuffed with bread, cheese, and meat). Water, coffee, and a glass of wine per person are also included.

With a short drive after lunch, you will reach the third and last stop of your wine tour. At about 3:00 PM, you will have an appointment for a guided visit to an organic winery. Here you will have the chance to discover the producer's philosophy and the features of the wonderful wines produced by organic vineyard management. At the end of the visit, you will taste three Franciacorta DOCG wines.

Before driving back to your accommodation, you can take some time to enjoy a lakeside stroll in Iseo... and a gelato, why not? The itinerary could change according to availability.
Please keep in mind that this is a self-driven tour. In every winery and restaurant, you'll be welcomed by the hospitality staff who will take good care of you.
