  • About the area

    Friuli Venezia Giulia

    Countryside road in Friuli Venezia Giulia, North East Italy

    Friuli is a hidden gem away from the tourist trails with Austria and the Dolomites as its stunning backdrop, Slovenia to the east and the glittering Adriatic to the south.

    A glass of wine catches the Italian sunlight, with the vineyards of Friuli Venezia Giulia as a backdrop.

    Whether you choose to visit the Collio or Valdobbiadene in the neighbouring region of Veneto you will be sipping sparkling Prosecco, Ribolla Gialla, ruby Refosco or Schioppettino, just a few of the luscious wines that are produced in abundance here.

    Just come back from a Friuli tour with Linda and Ivan. A wonderful trip.

    A lovely and un-touristy region, with great wines (of all types) and excellent food.

    Really well organised by Ivan and Linda. We felt very special.

    Ivan’s local knowledge - both of the area and the wine trade - gave an inside view

    and made this a really warm and friendly insight into lots of wonderful wines and some very interesting areas.

    And good fun. Just the thing to do with a small group of good friends. Can’t recommend it enough.

    Fantastic experience and would love to go again!

    Very professional organisation with fantastic knowledge of the areas involved.

    The service was top quality and very helpful. The accommodation was very comfortable and well maintained.

    This company went out of their way to make sure all your needs were met and even advised on which wines to try.

    This area is well worth the visit… the transportation was first class.
    Ivan is a native of Friuli and is informatively passionate about his homeland.

    He knows the Winery owners well after his decades of working in the wine business

    and Linda was the front of house in a successful West Wales hotel… so you’re in good hands!
    I’d highly recommend it for… ambience and hospitality, affordability, superb wines, great food, logistically superb.

    Ciao e grazie mille Linda e Ivan
