Vineyard sunset in the Berici Hills – Mossano (VI)

Wine, oil and their land

All seasons are good for a walk in the Berici Hills: the silent winter, the thousands of blossoms in spring, the deafening buzz of summer, the colours of autumn: and each season offers immersive sensations and the possibility to experince the products of this particular land, between the mountains and the plains. And the main protagonists will be wine and olive oil.

Our hike will start on a road that shortly lead to a path surrounded by typical flora of the sunny slopes of this amazing hills. On the way we’ll stop and visit a little archeological site, the rest of small shelter, ancient signs of human presence.

After our short hiking experience we’ll cross the cartroad that will soon lead us to our destination: Andrea and Marcella will be waiting for us on the hill that hosts their vineyard to let us taste their wines and olive oil served on bread croutons.

At this moment we will be accompanied by the sunset light, and the picturesque view on the Berici hills, the plain and the Euganean hills in the background.

Then, Andrea and Marcella will lead us through the vineyards and olive groves to discover about the history of Adagiovini and the behind-the-scenes story of their passion and the production of their wines.

We will be back to our starting point in about half an hour along a hilly road (approximately 19:45-20:00).
