Rimini: Wine Experience – Guided Cellar & Vineyard Tour with 5 DOC Wines
Step inside the barrels, breathe in the terroir, and taste what the Romagna countryside has to offer.
This Rimini wine tasting experience at Tenuta San Valentino invites you to explore the art of winemaking through a guided cellar and vineyard tour paired with five carefully selected DOC wines. It is an approachable, intimate encounter with one of the Romagna region's most respected estates. Suitable for curious beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike, the session combines education with genuine pleasure.
Tenuta San Valentino has built its reputation on a commitment to authentic local traditions and rigorous viticulture. During the tour, a knowledgeable guide walks you through the production facilities, explaining how each wine is crafted from vine to bottle. The barrel cellar in particular offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the aging process that defines the estate's character.
The tasting component features both classic labels and exclusive crus, giving participants a well-rounded perspective on the estate's range. Organic extra virgin olive oil served with fresh bread, along with a curated selection of local cold cuts and cheeses, accompanies each pour. The food pairings are chosen to complement and highlight the distinct profiles of each wine rather than overshadow them.
The entire experience lasts two hours and is rated as easy difficulty, making it accessible to guests of varied physical abilities. No prior wine knowledge is required, and the informal atmosphere encourages questions throughout. Participants leave with a clearer understanding of what distinguishes Romagna's wine culture from other Italian regions.
