While the bunches in the vineyards timidly begin to change color, and the heat of the summer months is felt intensely, here we are with a new proposal. If you are going to spend some time in Verona between the end of September and the beginning of October, we are organizing two event days dedicated to the harvest, where you can be the one to “get your hands dirty” and select the bunches which will then be transformed into wine. In collaboration with Fugolo Gianluca winery, we want to offer you a complete vineyard experience, a journey from the bunch to the glass capable of involving and entertaining adults and children.

We will leave at 10.00 am from Verona, to reach the Fugolo Gianluca wine estate, where all the day’s activities will take place. Once you arrive in the vineyard, you will be taught how to recognize the best grapes and the best technique for harvesting them. Armed with scissors and boxes, we will proceed with the harvest, and in the meantime you can be told about all the traditions of Valpolicella and the history of the company. Once the harvest is finished, it will be time for pressing! We will crush the grapes together the old fashioned way, with a manual press (or, for those who want, with our feet!). After so much effort it’s time to rest: a tasty aperitif followed by a picnic in the vineyard awaits you, obviously accompanied by Fugolo Gianluca wines.

The dates currently available (in English) are 27 September and 4 October 2024. To consult the detailed program and register for the event go to the dedicated page on our website, or contact us via e-mail (info@paguswinetours .com).
