Italy is the ideal place for grapes, thanks to its mild and favourable climate. Extending into the Mediterranean Sea like a magnificent garden, Italy’s terroir offers tastes and bouquets of extraordinary variety. And it is this land that gave rise to Grappa, the quintessential Italian distillate, unique in the world for character and provenance.

Grappa is the distillate of marc produced exclusively inItaly. The marc, i.e. the pips and skins of grapes, obtained from the vinification process, must come exclusively from grapes grown in Italy. Any other distillate of non-Italian marc cannot be called Grappa, even if produced inside the national borders.

Venice, Bassano del Grappa and Monte Grappa are names that, for various reasons, have been linked to aqua-vitae for centuries. Even if a relationship between the word Grappa and the mountain of the same name cannot be established with certainty, these lands have had an old and fundamental role in the production of our distillate.

Our tour usually starts directly from Venice where the private car or minivan will be waiting for you. the guide will take you to the Museum of grappa that is about one hour far from Venice. There you will visit the Distillery and will see the ancient copper pot still working with artisan method. In the ageing cellars, you will be able to taste different kinds of grappa and other distillates. Infact, Grappa is a unique distillate in the world, in being obtained from the distillation of a solid raw material: the vinaccia (marc), i.e. the skins of grapes remaining after the grapes are pressed to make wine. Grappa is classified according to its age, the grape or grapes from which the marc was obtained and, possibly, the vegetable essences used to flavour it.

If you will chose the full day tour you will be taken to visit the beautiful town of Bassano, located at the foot of the Grappa mountain, with its famous bridge.
