The Zonin winery organizes a guided tour of the Museum Path “A History of Vine”, to the historic cellars, and to the new Zonin Philatelic Collection dedicated to the World of Wine. The path consists of a guided tour through the 9 estates of the Zonin family located in 7 Italian regions. During the visit special attention and study will be dedicated to the Italian region whose wines will be the protagonists of the evening. In addition to this, the Zonin company organizes the “Wine Tasting”: a mini–course of tasting (maximum 30 people) with a practical tasting test of two wines. During the course, after brief notes on how to taste a wine, the terroir of the wine region where the “actors of the evening” wines are produced will be presented.

The food and wine menu will be served in the Salone Forestiera and will be based on typical dishes (from Sicily, Friuli, Veneto, Tuscany, Piedmont, Lombardy and Puglia) and regional wine pairings, where the marriage of food and wine follows its own rules and makes also unusual surprises, and at the end there will be a final test with questions and nice prizes.
