Take a half-day trip from Bergamo to the Franciacorta region for a winery visit and a tasting session of the new world's finest sparkling wines. Escape the city in a private air-conditioned minivan with a free wi-fi connection and an English-speaking driver. You will enjoy a three-course lunch in a traditional restaurant close to Lake Iseo, paired with a glass of one of the most prestigious Franciacorta wines.

After lunch, visit a local Franciacorta winery for a guided tour and tasting accompanied by an expert sommelier. Learn about the history of those famous Italian sparkling wines and the main phases of their production process. Explore the cellar which hosts the bottles during the second fermentation phase and finish your winery tour with a tasting of two Franciacorta wines.

In the afternoon, after the visit to the winery, drive down the coast along the Franciacorta Wine Route to return to Bergamo, passing through the hillside vineyards. See for yourself why this region is renowned as an icon of the best Italian sparkling wines.
