Altavia Winery is nestled in the picturesque hills of Dolceacqua, a quaint village on the stunning Italian Riviera. Situated at an elevation of 1,200 feet (approximately 366 meters), the vineyard benefits from protection against cold winds thanks to the nearby Maritime Alps. Spanning five hectares, the vineyard thrives in calcareous and rocky soil, ideal for producing exceptional wines.

Traditional Hand Pruning Meets Modern Ageing Techniques

At Altavia, the vines are meticulously trained and harvested using traditional hand pruning methods, ensuring the highest quality. The winery produces around 40,000 bottles annually, with wines aged in both oak and steel barrels. The vineyard cultivates four grape varieties: Rossese di Dolceacqua, Vermentino, and Syrah, each offering delicate flavors and a distinctive, intense aroma.

Charming Stone Farmhouses Surrounded by Nature

Guests at Altavia can enjoy two beautifully designed stone farmhouses, set amidst the vineyards and overlooking the sea. The interiors feature simple yet elegant furnishings, with wooden ceilings that complement the natural stone. Burnished iron accents contrast with modern steel elements, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Outside, a refreshing swimming pool nestled among olive trees provides a serene escape. The enchanting surroundings evoke a sense of nostalgia, with Dolceacqua, Sanremo, and Monaco just a short distance away, making it a perfect destination for wine lovers and travelers alike.

This place is highly recommended to all. The road in is a little "treacherous" but the villas themselves and facilities are top notch. The views though are absolutely to die for. The nearby Dolceaqua is beautiful and you're only 40 minutes or so from the beaches, or higher mountains. You won't be disappointed

Super friendliness and a wonderful place just a few kilometers from the sea. Absolutely recommended visit to buy and taste the unique wines (In addition to the native wines of this area of ​​Liguria you can also find some real innovative gems).

Excellent welcome and fantastic accommodation. We booked a farmhouse with friends. The experience was wonderful. Swimming pool available to guests, well-kept rooms and breathtaking views. I didn't know they also organized events, music parties and more! The tasting was also beautiful. This is a producer who does not seek tradition but certainly innovation!
