Have you ever experienced the grape harvest?
We offer a unique tour for an unforgettable experience on Sundays, September 21st, September 28th, and October 5th.
Arrival at 11:00 AM, ending approximately 2:30-3:00 PM.
We'll begin with a walk through the vineyard to discover the Valpolicella region and the history of the Fugolo Gianluca winery.
Sofia, along with her sister Michela, will tell you anecdotes about a historic vineyard for their family, and you'll see vines over 100 years old.
We'll take this walk through the heart of our vineyard, where you'll be given scissors and taught how to distinguish the finest bunches of native Valpolicella grapes.
We'll select the bunches and begin the harvest, placing the grapes in crates and containers for traditional pressing, using manual presses. Those who wish can also tread the grapes with their feet. It's a unique and unforgettable experience!
After completing our work in the vineyard, we'll prepare an aperitif for everyone, featuring local cured meats and cheeses.
Afterward, still in the vineyard, we'll set up all the hay bales with cushions and pallet tables for a dream picnic with a full tasting of four of our wines, including the most renowned ones like the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG.
Afterwards, red wine cookies and grape gelato for everyone.

Write a reviewExcellent experience! We did a tour with tasting and lunch. We were welcomed by Sofia, a member of the family that owns the vineyard, who gave us a very good explanation of everything. Then we tasted delicious wines and had a very nice lunch. 100% recommended.

We have just left Gianluca Fugolo's farm. We were welcomed by Sofia, Gianluca's daughter, the owner, a very knowledgeable girl who answered all our questions in a pertinent and exhaustive manner. We had a tasting of their wines, accompanied by a generous and tasty platter of local cold cuts and cheeses and a plate of Valleggio tortellini. It was nice to experience, through Sofia's stories and passion, the history of her family and the wine they produce. We will definitely come back to visit them!

Magical experience… absolutely worth repeating! After visiting the vineyard with its magical history we tasted the wines and oil they produce on a splendid veranda. Sofia, Michela, with her mother and father Gianluca are fantastic people. I highly recommend.

An experience out of the ordinary with this extraordinary family that has been producing fantastic wine for several generations. Their family's story of their story of the 20,000 bottles they produce is not only exciting but also enveloping. If we add to this the fact that they have an extraordinary cuisine that you can taste after taking a guided tour of their vines even with 120 year old plants... I can confirm that it is a more unique than rare experience. Highly recommended..

We had the pleasure and luck to be able to do a tasting with a visit to the vineyard and peach orchard together with Sofia. He immediately welcomed us and put us at ease, started talking to us about the area and then immersed himself in the vine to discover the roots and history of her family. Having the opportunity to get to know such lively and active local realities that collaborate with other local realities is certainly wonderful. The moment of the tasting was a true moment of relaxation and a journey to discover the aromas hidden in the wine. Under the skillful guidance of Sofia, we started tasting the wines and chatting as if we were among friends. A game of who recognizes the most scents and how many memories come to mind! What we learned from our first tasting is that the wine speaks, the vine is intelligent and the aromas of the wine are hidden in the DNA of the grape! It is the grapes that decide which wine it will be. A big thank you for this truly unforgettable experience, thank you to Sofia and her aunt (whose name I unfortunately cannot remember) who made us feel welcome in their vineyard. Thank you very much! Perla and Francesco.
