La Rajade: Discover Collio’s Ray of Light through a Winery Tour & Wine Tasting

The Complete Wine Experience at La Rajade Winery invites guests to explore the art of winemaking in one of the most captivating corners of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Nestled in the eastern foothills of the region, in the Judrio Valley along the Slovenian border, La Rajade Winery represents the northernmost expression of the Collio area, a land where nature dictates the rhythm of time and every element contributes to the creation of exceptional wines.

The experience includes a guided walk through the vineyards on the south-eastern slope of the Petrus hill, where the harmony between the vines and the surrounding landscape is evident. A visit to the winery offers insight into the meticulous winemaking process and the techniques behind the production of Collio DOC wines. The tasting features five distinctive labels, including emblematic regional varieties such as Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, and Sauvignon Blanc, paired with traditional Friulian specialties that enhance their aromas and flavors.

The tour reveals the importance of terroir – how the exposure of the vineyards, the composition of the characteristic ponca soil made of sandstone and marl, the gentle breezes, the steady warmth of the sun, and the temperature variations between day and night together shape wines of great aromatic depth and refined elegance.
