From here, the journey continues towards Fattoria Il Poggio, traversing the wine road through hills adorned with centuries-old vineyards and charming rural villas from the 16th and 18th centuries. At the farm, steeped in history dating back to 1845, visitors embark on a guided walk through the garden to the vineyards. The Rossi Family has run this farm since 1963 and welcomes guests to taste their renowned wines and extra virgin olive oil, complemented by local appetizers. A delicious Italian farm-style lunch awaits, providing an authentic culinary experience. At the end of the lunch, guests will return to the coach for their scenic drive back to the pier.
