In summer, Sardinia is very hot and since it's one of the most popular and luxurious beach destinations in Italy, it gets very crowded. That's why spring is more suitable if you want to go around wineries in Sardinia but also go for a hike or for an MBT adventure.
Wineries in Sardinia are mostly family-run and located in historical buildings that often respect the local architecture and tradition.
