Natural Wine Tasting & Farm Tour

Set in the rolling hills of Tolentino, in Italy’s Marche region, Farm Experiences & Tours offers an immersive 2.5-hour Natural Wine Tasting & Farm Tour that redefines agritourism. Centered around a 350-year-old farmhouse, this trip unfolds across vineyards and centuries-old olive groves at Contrada Sant'Angelo. Here, guests step into a world where traditional farming and natural winemaking merge, emphasizing sustainability and respect for the land.

Unlike typical winery tours, this experience dives deep into the practices behind natural wines — from vineyard management free of synthetic chemicals to fermentation processes that allow indigenous yeasts to shape distinctive flavor profiles. Visitors follow a knowledgeable guide through terraced Shiraz, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, set against a backdrop of the Apennine foothills. The tour highlights the unique soils—rich in clay and limestone—that give these grapes their character.

Along the way, participants learn how natural winemaking differs from conventional methods, appreciating the intentional minimal intervention and the environmental stewardship this approach demands. The tasting portion is both tactile and informative. Sampling wines directly from the barrel, you gain firsthand insight into evolving flavors before they reach the bottle, accompanied by stories about each variety’s heritage in the region.

Settling inside the farmhouse, guests complement their tastings with a dessert wine and freshly brewed coffee, enhancing the sensory journey. Farm Experiences & Tours is a standout in this part of Italy because it blends outdoor, educational adventure with culinary culture. It’s tailor-made for anyone intrigued by how land stewardship shapes what ends up in your glass, offering a hands-on window into a rural landscape where heritage farming and wine craftsmanship continue to thrive.
