Wineries and Tastings in Lombardy
Franciacorta Sparkling Wines, Valtellina Mountains, Lakeside Vineyards
The Lombardy wine region tells three different stories within a few hours of travel: the traditional method sparkling wines of Franciacorta, the heroic terraces of Valtellina overlooking the Alps, and the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, Italy's third-largest wine-producing province by area. Among Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Nebbiolo (known here as Chiavennasca), each designation has a distinct character, often just a few kilometers from Milan or Lake Garda. Wineries are open for visits year-round: cellar tastings, picnics among the vines, and dinners with producers pair well with risottos, alpine cheeses, and lake fish. Book your wine tasting in Lombardy at the same price as the winery, with instant confirmation.
