🍷 Today in the Euganean Hills: visit to Vignalta winery 🌿

A special day spent among the rolling hills of the Euganean Hills, discovering the historic Vignalta winery.

We had the pleasure of accompanying some lovely clients on a visit that combined nature, wine, and passion. Between cellar stories and walks through the vineyards, we enjoyed tastings of both elegant white wines and structured reds—true expressions of this unique terroir.

✨ Among Vignalta’s most iconic labels:
• Gemola – the winery’s flagship red, intense and refined
• Arquà – balance and elegance in every sip
• Vignalta Bianco – fresh, mineral, and vibrant

📸 In the photos:
moments from the tasting, close-up details of the bottles (including the prestigious Gemola), and the vineyards just beginning to bud… with stunning views of the plains stretching out to the horizon 🌱

An authentic experience that truly captures the soul of the Euganean Hills, where wine is born from the land and a deep passion for it.

What a joy to read your words — thank you! We’re delighted that Maria’s Cookery School and the wonderful Giuseppe made your two half-days so memorable, from fresh pasta and gnocchi to involtini, tiramisù and sauces. It’s great to know you discovered the authentic Italian methods and found them even better than before.

We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed the history and quiet of our oasis, and that our team’s meals and hospitality made you feel looked after. Your description of “old Europe” is exactly the atmosphere we love to share.

A special thank-you from Vittorio and all the staff. We hope to welcome you back for more seasonal recipes — perhaps a risotto workshop or a regional sauces masterclass next time!

Warm regards,
Team Tenuta Castel Venezze & Maria’s Cookery School
