Here is what's in store for you
Get ready to live a wine tasting experience in the heart of Valpolicella Classica at Castrum Wine Relais, nestled on the top of the highest hill of the village of Castelrotto.
Casa Fraccaroli, one of the oldest mansions in the area, built in 1790 and located in Piazza di Castelrotto consists of a Venetian Villa with an old cellar in the basement, a rustic countryhouse, a large olive grove, and a boutique winery - Azienda Agricola Borghetti - that produces the classic wines of Valpolicella. A villa passed from generation to generation, which has always remained in the family, opens its doors for you to enjoy a daytime tour of the cellar and barrel room, to learn about the evolution and winemaking processes used by Borghetti Giampiero, the current owner of the entire structure.
After a tour of the boutique winery, you will have the opportunity to taste 5 iconic Valpolicella wines, accompanied by breadsticks and taralli: Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso, Corvina, Amarone, and Recioto.
Castrum Wine Relais and Borghetti Giampiero Winery offer an experience, a concept, a journey through wines, art, architecture, family history, and centuries-old traditions. We are a winery with catering; our Wine Bistro is open all year round, every day, offering local dishes. It is the winner in Italy of the 2025 Wine Tasting & Food Experience title in the international competition Great Wine Capitals of the World.
