Discover the charm of Guardia Sanframondi, a medieval village in the heart of Sannio, in the province of Benevento, with an experience combining wine, history and local traditions. A Wine Walking Tour through narrow streets, squares and scenic viewpoints, guided by a local winemaker.
The experience begins at a small artisan winery, where you will meet the winemaker and explore the production areas, winemaking techniques and characteristics of the region's wines. The visit ends with your first glass of wine paired with a local speciality.
From here, you will set off on a Wine Walking Tour through Guardia Sanframondi's historic centre, a walk of approximately two hours along medieval streets, past monuments and overlooking the hills of Sannio. You will explore some of the village's most iconic landmarks, including Piazza Croce, Ponte Ratello and the Medieval Castle.
Along the way, the winemaker will share stories and interesting facts about the village's history and winemaking traditions. There will be three tasting stops at picturesque spots around the village, each featuring a different wine paired with small samples of local food.
You will discover the winery's artisanal wines, including sparkling Falanghina, Coda di Volpe, Fiano, Barbera and Passito. Produced in limited quantities, these wines are made using manual processes, minimal intervention and distinctive winemaking techniques, such as grape drying, maceration and bottle refermentation. Each glass will be accompanied by local baked goods, cured meats and cheeses.
At the end of the walk, you will return to the winery for one final wine tasting, with the opportunity to learn more about the wines and purchase bottles directly from the producer.
An ideal experience for couples, friends and food and wine enthusiasts who want to discover the region through its flavours and stories.
Stroll through the streets of Guardia Sanframondi and discover the soul of Sannio, one glass at a time!
The experience includes a walking wine tasting featuring artisanal wines, accompanied by small samples of traditional local specialities.
The actual selection may vary depending on wine availability, seasonality and the pairings chosen by the winemaker.
The wines
The winery's wines are made through small-scale artisanal production, combining traditional techniques with experimentation and an approach increasingly focused on natural winemaking. Every stage, from harvesting to bottling, is carried out by hand, favouring minimal intervention and distinctive techniques such as grape drying, ripasso, maceration, extended ageing on fine lees and bottle refermentation, to highlight the identity and characteristics of each wine.
During the tasting, small samples of the following will be served:
Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are available upon request, as well as the possibility of adapting the tastings to specific dietary requirements, which must be communicated in advance.
For minors, non-alcoholic drinks and food samples are provided, with no wine served.
Private groups can enquire about dedicated dates and times, subject to the winery's availability.
If weather conditions prevent the guided walk through the historic centre, the experience will be adapted to include an indoor tasting at the winery. To compensate for the cancellation of the full Wine Walking Tour, participants will receive a complimentary bottle of wine.
