Wine tasting with vineyard and winery tour at Agnelli Viassone
Here is what's in store for you
Discover the Agnelli Viassone winery, located just a short walk from Grinzane Cavour Castle in the heart of the Langhe wine territory.
Upon arrival, you will meet Daniele and Alessia, two young winemakers, husband and wife, and be welcomed by their donkey Ubaldo, their mascot. Get ready to live an experience in contact with nature, where you will touch with your own hands the work carried out with passion by Daniele in the continuous search for the balance of the vineyard and the surrounding environment, a theme so dear to them as to insert right in the vineyard the little houses of their bees. During your walk through the vineyards, you will have the opportunity to stop to admire one of the most beautiful views of the Langhe, with the castle of Grinzane Cavour and Monviso as protagonists.
In the second stage of your experience, you will enter the winery, where they will show you the winemaking techniques and tell you about the aging of their wines. To finish you will move on to the tasting phase, enjoying a tasting of 4 wines accompanied by a nice mixed platter of cold cuts and cheeses from small local producers. It will be a unique experience, where you will take home a little piece of Langa!

Amazement in Langa
Needless to say that their wines are worth the visit!
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! And thank you!!!
Passion and grit
We will definitely be back and we did not hesitate to add his labels to our wine list because inside every bottle, besides good wine, you find commitment, sacrifice and, despite his young age, also competence and experience.
Disappointing...
Let's start with the positive things:
Daniele, who guided us on the tour, is a very passionate person regarding the world of wine and you can see and feel this passion, considering he explained many interesting things to us, and also a bit more technical than what is usually done.
The area around the house and the vineyard where the tour takes place is very nice, as is the tasting area, where we were able to enjoy a very evocative pre-sunset view.
Why the tasting itself was very disappointing:
Of the 4 wines (plus a bonus one at the end) we didn't like any of them, but this is a matter of personal taste and we can't blame the winery for it...
The real sore points:
- we were offered a meager platter to share with 2 other people at our table on which there were, per person, 1 slice of cured salami, 1 or 2 slices of cooked salami (depending on how fast you were to grab them, since there were 6 in total :) ) and 2 pieces of cheese. In addition to all this there was a basket with an equally meager quantity of breadsticks (3/4 per person)... It is certainly true that the tasting of local products is not the main part of a winery visit, but it is also just as true that we paid a not insignificant amount per person (25€) and that the photos on this site but also on Google show a different kind of platter being offered. I don't know if it was a miscalculation of the quantities or something else (because, I repeat, other photos show decidedly more abundant quantities), but in that case it would have been nice to at least receive an apology at the time.
- The quantities of wine poured for the tasting were just as meager, the equivalent of one or two sips. It seemed to us that only one bottle was opened and that they tried to make it last for all the guests participating in the tasting (between 10 and 15, by eye). Here too, one might not expect to leave a tasting drunk and I can also understand that, being a small winery with limited production, they try to limit the number of bottles opened during tastings, but, as above, this tasting was paid enough to expect a little something more, whereas at a lower price I would have had nothing to complain about.
A real shame!
