Your first stop will be at a beautiful castle that is also a winery. The Tenuta Castello di Grumello is located in the Valcalepio hills between medieval Bergamo and the pretty Lake Iseo. The estate has 90 acres, of which 50 acres are devoted to the vineyards. You will receive a private tour of the wine estate. Discover the history of the castle and the region to the castle history. Visit the palace, the chapel, and the tower. Then, enjoy a professional tour of the fermentation rooms and barrel cellars.
A full tasting of 4 wines (including the excellent dessert wine Moscato di Scanzo) will be next on the agenda. Then you will enjoy a delightful rustic lunch in a close Trattoria within walking distance. After lunch, you will take in a second cellar visit in Valcalepio.
After a hard day’s wine tasting, we’ll change the pace, a visit to Bergamo Alta (Bergamo’s old town) is a must for its magnificent medieval quarter: the ancient piazza, the Palazzo della Ragione, the Colleoni chapel, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.
You can climb the Campanone tower and take in the breath-taking view of the whole city, rest in the Rocca Park, or even take the cable railway up the hills to San Vigilio. Relax at a cozy wine bar enoteca, go gourmet shopping, or enjoy the winding streets and sightseeing. In the early evening, you’ll transfer back to Lake Como.
