Many winemaking facilities are open every weekend, and this weekend in particular – on September 25th and 26th – there will be a special theme for wine and food tastings: “I profumi della vendemmia”, that is grape harvest's flavours. Visitors will be allowed not only to see vineyards, cantine (wine cellars) and winemaking processes, but will be also offered wine tastings directly by the producers.
Depending on the different locations, this weekend there'll be concerts, open air tastings, harvest-themed menus to taste local delicacies too. As all events must comply with safety and health rules, booking is mandatory: some events are for free, while for other (like menus) there's an entry to pay.
Here's a full list of the Friulian winemakers opening their gates to visitors for this weekend: check out their websites to contact them and book your visit.
