Olive Oil & Wine in the Euganean Hills

Since ages vines and olive trees give products of eccelence in the Euganean Hills. With this Euganean Hills Oil and Wine experience we will visit both an oil mill, where the young owners will show us the art of oil production and a family-run winery for a visit to the barrel room and vineyard combined with some wine tasting.

With the Olive Oil & Wine Experience in the Euganean Hills we will take you to the heart of the hills where you will be immersed in a breathtaking panorama of olive groves and vineyards.

We will visit an oil mill, where the young owners will show you the art of oil production and involve us in a delicious tasting of extra virgin olive oil (EVO).

The second stage of the Olive Oil & Wine Experience in the Euganean Hills will take you to one of the best wine cellars in the Euganean Hills area. Here we’ll not only visit the winery with the barrel room and the vineyards, but also enjoy a fabulous wine tasting guided by the wineries worker or even the winemaker. In a word, you’ll travel with mind and taste from the white to red wines, all paired with local products as cheeses and/or cured meats.

As well as the particular volcanic origin of the soil and the favourable climate of the Euganean Hills allow the cultivation of a variety of vines, not only autoctone but also international grapes find here their growth. Serprino, a local biotype of the Glera vine, is the “volcanic” version of Prosecco, then Pinot blanc, Garganega and Chardonnay are among the most common whites, not forgetting the presence of  white Manzoni Bianco. Likewise the reds include the Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmènere.
