A journey to discover the heroic vineyards of the Bivongi DOC and its authentic wines, amidst the beauty of nature, where the horizon meets the Ionian sea.

Discover the Byzantine Valley of Stilaro and its vineyards with a beautiful wine experience at Murace Vini.

Our Vineyard Tour begins with a meeting at the winery located in Bivongi (RC). We will then jump on a 4x4 car (included in the experience) towards our first stop: the Monastery of San Giovanni Therestis, an Orthodox church with irresistible charm, a testament to the Byzantine influence that permeates our land. After a brief visit, where you will experience a peaceful state of mind, we will continue our journey towards the heroic vineyards of Cosimo, where you will be guided on a walk among the vines, learning about the winery, the vineyards, and the wines, and discovering some secrets along the way.

Wine tasting

After the vineyard walk, we will return to the winery for the wine tasting (white, rosé, and red) as well as the Mosto Cotto, a truly special traditional product. The tasting will be accompanied by taralli and focaccia with our EVO oil. You can also choose to pair the wines with local cheeses and cured meats at an additional cost. Minors will be offered a snack.

Included:

  • 4x4 car transfer to the vineyards and back

Last summer we took part in a vineyard tour with tasting. The vineyards are in an incredible place, and the final tasting was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful discovery in an area with so much to offer! Well done Valentina and Cosimo for making it even better! I highly recommend the vineyard and winery experience! The English-speaking welcome was helpful for our American guests!

The managers of the company were clear in their explanations and very kind from the welcome to the greetings. We tasted their white, red and fortified wines. All very good but the red deserves a note of merit. Very detailed and interesting visit to the vineyards and monastery. Quality/price one of the best tastings so far, highly recommended.
