Fontanavecchia: Vineyards, Cellars and Tastings

If winemaking is part of your trip, Fontanavecchia offers a clearly defined focus in the municipality: ten routes covering vineyards, cellars and tastings. They explore the history and wine production of the estate, as well as grape varieties from the Benevento area. The cultivation of the vineyards and winemaking methods are also covered. This lets you explore the subject from several perspectives: from cultivation and work in the vineyard to the stages of production and the finished wine.

Winemaking from Different Perspectives

The topics follow a clear line of thought: grape varieties point to the regional foundations of the wine, work in the vineyard to its cultivation, and winemaking to its production. The estate’s history and production add a perspective on the connection between its development and its wine. This gives you an approach that can focus both on individual aspects and on how they relate to one another. The different topics help you shape your trip around your own interests, rather than reducing winemaking to a tasting.

The Rillo family also guides visitors as they discover the vineyards and cellars of Fontanavecchia. This complements the subjects covered by the routes with a perspective on these two areas. The vineyard draws attention to grape varieties and cultivation; cellars and winemaking are also among the topics covered. Those interested in cultivation will find a different focus here from those who want to learn more about production. Tastings provide another point of interest along the routes.

Include Wine in Your Travel Plans

When planning your trip, consider which aspect of winemaking interests you most: grape varieties from the Benevento area, work in the vineyards, winemaking or tastings. This gives wine a specific place in your trip without requiring all ten routes to have the same focus. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can take these interests into account when choosing your destination and accommodation. This is especially helpful if winemaking is one of the reasons for your trip and you want to plan the rest of your vacation around other interests.

For specific visit plans, check opening times and access arrangements directly with the estate. This lets you coordinate your travel plans with the dates that suit you, without assuming a fixed schedule. The wine routes, their varied topics, and the Rillo family’s guided discovery of the vineyards and cellars offer several ways to decide what you want your stay to focus on.
