Brescia Sightseeing Tour from Milan with Franciacorta Private Wine Tasting and Lunch

Our friendly English-speaking driver will pick you in your Milan hotel and in an hour drive will take you to Franciacorta. Formerly a rural escape for Milanese aristocrats and industrialists, Franciacorta is now home to what many wine connoisseurs are calling Italy’s best new sparkling wine. Upon your arrival to the winery you will be welcomed by a local expert guide who will tell you the story of the region, it’s sparkling wine and reveal the secrets of its production.

The winery, which will hospitably open its doors for you, is one of oldest and most prestigious in Franciacorta. The best brands here are ranked alongside the great wines of Champagne. The wine status – DOCG – is the top category in Italian wine classification and it is a guarantee of quality, geographical origin and method of production. After a guided tour in the winery and cellar that includes extensive wine tasting, you will be invited to a gourmet lunch in the restaurant surrounded by vineyards and serving traditional local cuisine.

In the afternoon a half-hour drive will take you to a historic city of Brescia, where the local guide will show you its most remarkable attractions: numerous cozy squares and narrow streets, ancient churches and medieval castle where you can enjoy a beautiful city panorama.

The walk through the historical centre of Brescia, which has preserved the features of its ancient Roman layout, including the Roman Capitol will complete your journey to this sumptuous Italian province.

Afterwards, a one and half-hour drive will take you back to your hotel in Milan.
