An authentic experience in the tradition of Corte Fornello, designed to let you experience wine in a simple, engaging, and genuine way.
You will be accompanied by a member of our family on a journey to discover our young wines through a guided tour that combines storytelling, territory, and tasting.
The path begins among the vineyards and continues in the winery, in the area of winemaking and bottling, up to the evocative Barricaia from the 18th century, a historic place that tells our identity.
The visit concludes with the tasting of 3 selected wines, accompanied by a rich platter of local cold cuts and cheeses. The tasting takes place in the indoor room or, weather permitting, outside in our courtyard.
It is not just a simple visit, but a moment of sharing: a journey through aromas and flavors that brings you closer to the world of wine in a direct and pleasant way.

Corte Fornello is located at Via Fornello 6, in Valeggio sul Mincio, in the Lake Garda area. Upon arrival, you will find a yellow wall with the inscription “CORTE FORNELLO” and a small statue of the Madonna. Next to the entrance, there is a spacious courtyard with a magnolia in the center: feel free to enter and park comfortably along the vineyards. A member of our family will welcome you upon your arrival.
We recommend reaching the winery by car or taxi, as public transport links are limited. Use a navigation system by entering the full address for easy arrival.

Suitable For
Wine tastings at Corte Fornello are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their level of wine knowledge.
Whether you are taking your first step into the world of wine or you are a more experienced enthusiast, every experience is structured to be clear, engaging, and easy to follow. Our goal is to experience wine in an authentic and informal way, without excessive jargon, but with the right depth for those who wish to learn more.
During the tasting, we will guide you step by step, telling the story of the wines, the territory, and the production techniques in a simple and understandable manner. We will always be available to answer questions and adapt our explanations based on the curiosity and experience of the guests.
In this way, each participant can feel comfortable and fully enjoy the moment, turning the tasting into a journey of discovery, sharing, and pleasure.
What to Bring
No specific clothing is required for this experience. However, we recommend bringing an umbrella in case of bad weather, as the guided tour involves moving between the various buildings of the winery. In case of rain, the experience will still take place indoors, but the umbrella can be useful for moving comfortably between the spaces.
Cancellation Information
Cancellations and any modifications to the reservation at Corte Fornello must be communicated at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled tasting time.
Within this timeframe, cancellation is free and allows for a refund or rescheduling of the experience at no additional cost.
For cancellations made less than 48 hours prior to the event, it will not be possible to guarantee a refund, as the organization of the experience already involves the preparation of wines, products, and dedicated personnel.
We therefore invite you to carefully check your reservation and, in case of unforeseen events, to contact us as soon as possible to find the best solution.
Our policy is designed to ensure an organized and quality service for both our guests and our team, ensuring the best possible experience for all participants.
