Experience Award-Winning Wines from the Basilicata Region in a Scenic Setting

Unforgettable experience that combines a vineyard hike, picnic in the vineyards and a wine tasting

Your experience begins at Cantina il Passo, located along the historic Appia Antica, the ancient Roman road connecting Puglia to Rome. The winery's name comes from its first land, "the Pass," which features a beautiful olive grove where you’ll learn about its significance. Spanning 50 hectares, the estate includes vineyards, olive groves, and fields of durum wheat, barley, and oats. A member of the Grimolizzi family will guide you along a scenic walking path through the vineyards. The cellar, carved into the mountain and dating back to the 1700s, showcases the winemaking process from grape arrival to bottling. The oldest section, dating back to the 1200s, features a historic Palmento, where you’ll hear stories of ancient grape harvesting techniques. During this unique experience, stroll through the vineyard, enjoy a picnic with a selection of local products, and savor a glass of Alberi in Piano wine. You’ll also have the option to purchase wines directly from the cellar.
