You can adopt rows of Garganega thanks to the project of the Soave Wine Road. Becoming an adoptive vinegrower allows you to enjoy the phases of the work of the winemaker: to help pruning, harvesting, to follow the processing of wine in the cellar, until you can taste the fruit of the work with 12 bottles of Soave Wine.
Why to become Adoptive Vinegrowers?
The Soave Wine Road proposes to adopt lots of 50 Garganega vines to offer the unique experience of becoming a winemaker. The adoption helps to create a bond with the wonderful land of production of the Soave wine, to know the people and companies and watch the stages of production that from Garganega grapes lead to the glass the unique white wine.
