Cantine Aperte arrives in Tuscany at Christmas, from 4 to 12 December 2021

You can discover with us all the program and the addresses of this special Christmas edition

In the cellars of the Movimento Turismo del Vino Toscana, from December 4th to 12th, the appointment with Cantine Aperte a Natale will be back, decorated to welcome wine lovers and for the little ones, many activities to get closer to wine.

This is a unique opportunity for everyone to choose wines to pair with the menus of Christmas period thanks to the precious suggestions of the producer himself, with the opportunity to introduce even the youngest to the magical world of wine thanks to many activities organized for children.

Emanuela Tamburini, president of Movimento Turismo del Vino Toscana says that with the opening of their wineries in such a magical time as Christmas, the year dedicated to Dante’s celebration also will end. The Tuscan theme of Cantine Aperte at Christmas will therefore be "Dante Christmas. Dante in Vigna makes you a special wish: Merry Christmas!". Wine lovers, together with their families will be able to take a special picture with Tuscan wines and with Dante in Christmas version. The event offers the opportunity for those present to receive personalized advice on the menu of the holidays and on gifts to give to friends by matching Tuscan wine that responds to each personality (Brunello for an austere person, a wine of the Maremma for a sunny person, a Chianti for an adventurous and then get to the Tuscan bubbles that are now really common in the MTV Tuscany’s cellars).

Cantine Aperte, born in Tuscany almost thirty years ago, is the most important wine tourism event in Italy. Cantine Aperte has become over time a philosophy, a travel style and discovery of Italian wine territories, which sees, each year, more and more tourists, curious and wine lovers approaching wineries, who want to make a unique experience.
