Open Wineries during Harvest 2015 in Tuscany

The most beautiful "Open Harvests" to the public in the land of the Grand Duchy

10/09/2015 12 proposals to witness the birth of the great Tuscan wines in a year that promises to be among the best of the century. The wineries of the Wine Tourism Movement open their doors to wine lovers and children.

Experiences that are able to teach and excite: picnic, bicycles, music, creative tastings, feet pressing of the must in peasant style... There are even activities for children. «There is at least an opportunity in every area of Tuscany and for every type of tourist: from the super expert who has already tried almost everything to the newcomer who arrives at the winery for the first time, up to the family with children who want to discover the countryside» Violante Gardini said, Chairman of the Wine Tourism Movement of Tuscany, coordinating the most beautiful experiences of harvest ever made in the region.
