About Winery and Wines

In the heart of Puglia, in an area known for its natural and landscape peculiarities, lies the Antica Masseria del Fano, a charming farm that combines charming hospitality with a centuries-old agricultural tradition. The Masseria Fano, whose name derives from the Latin "fanum", or "place of the gods", offers refined hospitality: 8 rooms, 5 of which located inside the courtyard and 3 set up in the characteristic Tower, a fort built by the Gonzagas of Mantua in the 16th century. Among the rooms, in an intimate atmosphere, the Suite with sea view stands out.
