Wine and Gourmet Tour

Andrea Abate at Travel & More would be delighted to organise an enjoyable gourmet and wine tour around the most beautiful places in Ticino’s gastronomic and cultural scene for you.

CULTURAL GOURMET TOUR IN SWITZERLAND’S ‘SUN LOUNGE’!

Ticino not only offers plenty of sun – you’ll also find everything a gourmet needs. You’ll learn directly from local vintners just how much passion they invest in their winemaking, and specially chosen restaurants will put on a show of the best creative Ticinese delights for you. You’ll experience everything the local culture and nature in Ticino has to offer on several different tours and excursions.

Day 1

Arrival in Genestrerio (Mendrisiotto) and visit to Agriloro Winery with a personal tour, wine tasting session and brunch.

Visit to the Mulino di Bruzella mill, which resumed grinding and selling of typical polenta wheat a few years ago.

Check-in to first class Hotel Relais Castello di Morcote in Vico Morcote, your accommodation for the coming days.

Evening meal in Ristorante la Sorgente with an excellent ‘menu gastronomico’.

Day 2

Excursion on the famous rack railway up the Monte Generoso, from which you’ll be able to enjoy the breathtaking Alpine landscape from the “Fiore di pietra” designed by star Swiss architect Mario Botta. Guided tour of the modern observatory.

Afternoon tour of the historic Castello di Morcote with tasting of their award-winning wines.

Evening meal in the Ristorante Vicania on the Alpe Vicania.

Day 3

Lunchtime grilling course at the Ristorante Atenaeo del Vino in Mendrisio.
