VIGNA TRAVERSO, TAILOR-MADE WINE TOURISM THAT TAKES GUESTS TO THE HEART OF THE EASTERN HILLS OF FRIULI

There's a moment during a visit to Vigna Traverso when wine stops being simply a product and becomes a story. It happens when, passing through the barrel cellar, guests arrive in the panoramic tasting room after retracing all the stages of its creation: from grape selection to aging. This is where the "From Grape to Glass" tour takes shape, the wine tourism experience with which the Prepotto winery invites the public to enter its world.

In the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, Vigna Traverso offers a way of experiencing wine that focuses on a direct relationship with those who produce it. " Each visit is a journey that tells us who we are and how we work ," explains Stefano Traverso, the winery's enologist. " We try to convey three values that represent the identity of our company: love for the land, respect for the vines, and the desire to create wines that evoke emotion, because every bottle speaks not only of the territory, but also of the sensibilities of those who produce it. " The tour, lasting about an hour and a half, takes guests through all areas of the winery, starting from the areas dedicated to the delivery and processing of the grapes, continuing through the vinification and aging rooms, up to the barrel cellar, described by the Traverso family as "the cradle of wine," where time completes the work begun in the vineyard.

The tour concludes in the tasting room overlooking the Prepotto hills, where you can choose between a tasting of three or five wines, all from the winery's core selection. More than just a tasting, it's an opportunity to understand the production philosophy that has guided the Traverso family for over twenty-five years.

The winery's family-friendly nature allows it to offer a genuine and flexible welcome. Tours are customized to guests' needs, adapting schedules and procedures. For groups who book well in advance, during the summer months, it's possible to enjoy an even more immersive experience with a Defender tour of the most scenic vineyards with Stefano Traverso, directly entering the places where the wine is born.

Another distinctive feature is the ability to combine an intimate setting with the ability to accommodate large groups. The large panoramic room can comfortably accommodate events and tours for up to fifty people.

The goal, however, remains the same: to make every guest feel at home. Therefore, whenever possible, the visit concludes with a personal meeting with Stefano Traverso himself, transforming the tasting into a moment of dialogue and sharing.

In an area that has made wine tourism one of the main tools for enhancing the landscape, Vigna Traverso chooses to distinguish itself through tailor-made hospitality, where technique, storytelling, and human connection intertwine to offer an experience that goes beyond the glass and becomes a true immersion in the identity of the Colli Orientali del Friuli.
