What the minivan wine tour actually feels like

You’ll climb into a comfortable minibus for a short scenic transfer—about 20 km—across granite hills toward a countryside cantina. On arrival a local host leads you through vineyards and production spaces, recounting the land’s story and traditional vinification techniques. The visit concludes with a seated, guided tasting of three Sardinian wines—among them Vermentino and Cannonau—accompanied by an aperitivo of local products, before a return transfer to the meeting point.
