Yoga is harmony and balance, as much as a good wine must be. Yoga makes you lighter, purified and deeply receptive, immersing yourself in a journey to the soul of wine. Yoga and wine represent a perfect combination to achieve total well-being of body, mind and spirit. This experience begins with a complete Yoga session (Pranayama, Surya Namaskara, Asana, Shavasana) and continues with a walk through the vineyards and a guided tasting of the current vintages of “La canaglia”, “Cocca di Casa” and the selection “Costetoste “paired with local specialties.

If you are a wine enthusiast but also love idyllic countryside rides, this is the experience for you! Get on the horse at the Jack O’Neill riding school and ride to the winery across fields and all the Fontefico vineyards. Once arrived at the winery, you’ll be delighted by local specialties during a guided tasting of the current vintages of “La Canaglia”, “Cocca di Casa” and the “Costetoste” selection.

For a special event, celebrate your party at Fontefico, surrounded by the green of our organic vineyards. Choose between the various available locations. You can take advantage of the comfort of the large wooden gazebo or, for more casual parties, just ask for a poolside dinner. For the most romantics, the best choice is the bucolic and elegant  atmosphere of our huge green lawn.
Our wines and our specialties will complete the magic!

Experience G is designed for spending a full day at Fontefico; relaxing poolside, sipping our fine wines and enjoying a selection of our outstanding local food products. This experience provides a lunch including two appetizers, a artisanal pasta course and a dessert or fruit course, based on the menu of the day. You can also enhance the experience G purchasing meat courses and of course any Fontefico wines. Wine and lunch are served poolside while relaxing by our crystal clear salt-water pool. This is more than a wine-tasting
experience, it’s a wine-tanning experience!

The harvest is an immersive experience! Getting your hands dirty by picking the grapes, savoring its scent… is something unique, difficult to describe but easy to live. After the winery visit, the harvest begins and you will play the role of the proganist. And when hunger comes, the tasting lunch will be right into the vineyard, in the bucolic shade of the Montepulciano pergola. As per our Abruzzese tradition, we’ll serve typical dishes of the harvest-brunch, in combination with 3 wines of your choice. This is a journey through authentic emotions and genuine flavors.

The cooking class is a unique introduction to our Abruzzese culture. It includes two different local recipes. The first one is an “Antipasto” such as “pallotte cace e ove” or melanzane ripiene”. The second one is a “Homemade Pasta” recipe such as “sagne appezzate”, “cavatelli” or “pasta alla chitarra”. The teacher is not a cook but an original “old style housewife”, as professional cooks are not able to do the same. Everything in Fontefico is strictly authentic!
This is why we propose popular local recipes, authentic master pieces of the typical Abruzzese Sunday lunch. They are also very easy to replicate at home. Hence, back at home, visitors will be able to surprise their own guests with an original Italian Abruzzese recipe. Next the class, the lunch will be a wine-food pairing: four courses matched with four wines, including a Reserve wine. The tasting-lunch will also include the recipes that guests have prepared during the cooking class.

Children always have a lot of fun in Fontefico! While the parents enjoy their tasting, kids play on the lawn, chasing the butterflies, throw the ball… But that is not all, as it is possible to book an educational workshop dedicated to the youngest. The children will have to collect the grapes, separate the grains from the stalks, press the must and finally draw and color the label for their own grape juice bottle!

Vertical tastings are always an amazing experience. Retracing the old vintages of our wines is the best way to learn about all the nuances of the territory. The charm of this experience is also in the debate that unfailingly comes about, on how the identity of each vineyard was expressed in the different vintages and therefore on the evolution of each wine in the various tasted vintages. This year we are proposing three different verticals: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC 2006/2007/2008, Titinge Riserva 2007/2008/2009 and Costetoste selection 2008/2012/2014. The vertical tasting comes with a cutting board of selected local cold cuts and cheeses.

Experience B is the most complete event as your guided wine tasting takes place over lunch: while enjoying yourself you will also learn more about organic viticulture, wine and the secrets of the food pairing. This experience provides a full tasting of four wine selections: “La canaglia” Pecorino Superiore, “Fossimatto” Cerasuolo Superiore, “Cocca di Casa” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and the special selection “Titinge” Riserva Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The wines will be accompanied by a gourmet lunch featuring several local specialties, an artisanal pasta course and a dessert or fruit course, each of which is paired with Fontefico’s finest wines. You may also wish to enhance the “Fontefico experience” by purchasing alternate bottles from our distinct wine collection, including our cellared vintages.

This experience is not only a wine tasting, but an educational and essential wine class. It focuses on wines by grape varietals indigenous to Abruzzo and provides three of our finest wines: current vintages of “La canaglia” Pecorino Superiore, “Fossimatto” Cerasuolo Superiore and “Cocca di Casa” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The wines will be combined with a cutting board of selected local cold cuts and cheeses. You might consider enhancing your experience by adding additional current vintages wines to your
tasting, for just 5 euros more per each additional wine sampled.
