Welcome to Franciacorta, Lombardy, home to the Italy’s most famous sparkling wine.
Franciacorta sparkling wine is one of the only three European sparkling wines (the other two are Champagne and Cava) which have the privilege to use just the name of the region on the label to indicate the wine.
The labels read ‘Franciacorta’, a single word that defines the area, the production method and the wine itself.
Enjoy an immersive four day experience that will allow you to discover the region via tastings of Franciacorta wines, gourmet dinners, a stay in an enchanting Relais, health & wellness treatments, and a stroll amidst gently-rolling hills.
Arrival
Arrive into Brescia, Milan or Verona where you will be met by your local hosts and transferred to your chosen Relais.

Overnight Relais
Winery Visit & Gourmet Dinner
Your Franciacorta journey begins this morning, with a guided cellar and vineyard tour. Your guide will introduce you to the Franciacorta growing area, explaining the biodiversity in the vineyard, then following with the Franciacorta production method.
Finally comes the best part where you are able to enjoy tasting of various Franciacorta wines. Each of which eloquently reflects the particular qualities of the soils, quality potential, elevation, exposure, and microclimate classic to its own vineyard.
You will then be welcomed back to your Relais di Charme, for a relaxing afternoon.
Later, an exceptional nearby restaurant will receive you for dinner, where a spectacular gourmet meal and Franciacorta wines await.
