This was a fantastic experience. A family wine farm in a beautiful location. Great wines, accommodation, views, people and dogs. We really felt as if we had found a hidden gem.

Such a great wine tasting experience! Super relaxed vibe, and Mattia was an excellent host, offering recommendations off the bat for local places as well as for where we'd be visiting next. The wines we tasted, a mix of whites and reds, were all excellent, particularly the schiopettino, a signature of the Prepotto area. The tour of the cellar and the very friendly doggos were a plus.

I had a wine tasting at Open Cellars in November. A beautiful terrace where you can admire the vineyards and the colours of this season. The two very friendly brothers told us the history of the winery and its neighbours with a short but pleasant tour. They also recommended some beautiful places to continue the day!

Small winery in the homeland of Schiopettino di Prepotto, a beautiful discovery. The wines are an expression of authenticity, high quality and passion, you absolutely have to try their Schiopettino and Merlot Riserva!
