Here is what's in store for you
The Wine tour at Farneto del Principe includes a visit to the vineyards covering almost 100 hectares, during which you will be able to walk and stop between the rows and learn about the vines and cultivation techniques with the support of a guide at your complete disposal. Given the naturalistic state of the area, the visit to the vineyards is made on board a 4X4 off-road vehicle with a driver/expert guide from the winery.
Afterwards, the visit moves inside the winery, where it will be possible to discover the entire winemaking process: from the arrival of the grapes in the cellar to the bottling of the wine. During this stage it will be possible to taste the wines directly from the 5000-litre stainless steel tanks.
The last stage of the tour is the tasting of the bottled wines accompanied by platters of typical local cold meats and cheeses, held in the premises adjacent to the winery where there is also a WINE SHOP that will give you the opportunity to purchase the winery's wines.

Unforgettable wine tour at Farneto Del Principe
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Farneto Del Principe winery tour! Giulio was an exceptional host—entertaining, knowledgeable and passionate. He shared fascinating insights into the winemaking process and local traditions, making the tour both fun and educational. Visiting their family fields was a special touch, giving us a deeper connection to the grape types, wines, even the culture and specific climate impact. The highlight was undoubtedly the wine tasting, where we savored their exquisite selections. We couldn't resist picking up a few bottles at their well-stocked store. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable wine experience!
Superlative experience
First time having an experience like this and it went beyond my expectations.
We visited the vineyards, the production areas, tasted more wine than we imagined and we bought a bottle with an excellent quality/price ratio.
Thank you for your availability and for answering all my questions.
A must-do experience, I highly recommend it!

Professionalism, taste and nature
The experience at the "Farneto del Principe" winery is the perfect combination of taste and professionalism!
The owner gave us a noteworthy welcome; he stood out for his professionalism, expertise, kindness and extreme helpfulness!
It was possible to see the passion for the work done, the care for details and the attention to particulars.
The products offered during the tasting, besides being of evidently high quality, enhance the flavors of the raw materials used and processed through careful procedures.
It was possible to choose the types of wines to taste and, opting for the "white-rosé-red" triptych, allowed us to range among the tastes of the winery's production.
The landscapes where the vineyards are located allow you to spend the visit in complete relaxation.
The artificial lake next to which one of the company's vineyards is located helps to enrich the experience with a suggestive, romantic and characteristic nuance.
I can only highly RECOMMEND a visit to the winery and a tasting of the WINES produced!
Quality, professionalism, kindness, helpfulness and TASTE are absolutely guaranteed!

Guided tour-tasting and much more!
We were welcomed by Giulio, a guy who loves his job and does it 360°. He accompanied us into his vineyards, explaining how they do their work, all in the name of respect for the product and for nature. Not just notions of wine, but also of the history and geography of the place!
I won't add anything else, because you absolutely have to go to see for yourselves.
Giulio, an excellent speaker, super interesting, but an excellent host. The tasting was technical but pleasant, as if you were with a friend; he had us try 3 wines based on our tastes, accompanied by local products. The cherry on top? The hippocras, a honey-spiced wine. What can I say, everything was excellent, an experience to have and to repeat with friends!
