SWISS WINE TOUR
Experiences for
wine lovers
There is a strong link between quality wine and excellent food products,
which is attracting more and more attention among a diverse group of people,
from enthusiasts to professionals in the sector.
Swiss Wine Tour has developed out of a love of
the land and a passion for wine. This nationwide
project aims to help people discover, or rediscover,
the essence of local crafts and products. The
Swiss Wine Tour platform gathers ideas and
inspiration related to wine-growing and acts as
an online seller of food and wine experiences by
handpicking the activities on offer.
Ticino is a land of wine and those who love to
breathe in its aroma will not be disappointed.
Its mild climate and sunny days make the canton
the ideal place for aging merlot and, increasingly
over recent years, for growing native varieties.
The result of months of work, huge efforts and
endless passion are sealed in oak barrels and
labelled bottles. Around 3,000 winegrowers and
more than 1,000 hectares of vineyards in Ticino
make the Swiss Wine Tour project fertile ground
for cultivating. The wineries are ready to introduce
people to their world by welcoming enthusiastic
and curious visitors to their splendid wine cellars,
historic castles and breathtaking estates, where
they can experience the land and its products.
Tastings with a view, vineyard tours by bike,
grape harvests alongside the winegrowers and
romantic dinners with wine pairings are just some
of the offers from Swiss Wine Tour’s partners.
Whether it’s a vivid red, a white with glistening
reflections, dry or fruity on the palate, barriqueaged
or not, one thing is always true: wine gifts us
unique moments to be savoured to the full, and
Swiss Wine Tour bears witness to this.
A glass of Ticino
White Merlot for an aperitif or red Merlot
for a dinner, your wine will taste even better
in these elegant Ticino glasses.
