Such a fun afternoon! Our group did a winery tour and tasting experience that we scheduled online…read more We had a great time seeing the winery and learning about the wine making process as well as the local area. We opted for the 8 wine tasting experience, which featured a variety of whites, reds, and sheets. Everything we tried was fantastic and some of the best wines I've had! Everyone in my group like them all! They're award winning Sauvignon was definitely a crowd pleaser and tasted just right. Service was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed our tour guide and hearing all his explanations, stories, and recommendations of local places to try. Definitely recommend.

This was the first winery I visited in this region of Italy. What made me choose this as my first…read morewinery was that they are branded as a family vineyard. Another reason is that they make both red and white wines, whereas some other wineries in the region focuses on mainly white or focuses on Prosecco. The winery isn't large compared to the wineries I'm used to in California, but it was beautiful to see the vines nonetheless. The inside of the winery and tasting room was reminiscent of a warehouse or hangar, so that was quite different and unexpected. It didn't exude winery feels but the outside is nice. It turned out that you need a reservation to wine taste here, though that was not mentioned on their website. When I expressed that we're visiting, the lady that helped us made an exception to let us taste about 4 wines, which was quite was nice of her. The wines were nice, so we left with a few bottles as the prices are quite low compared to wineries back in California. This was a nice start to wine tasting in this region.

I went to a tasting and fell in love with their wines, so I was drawn to the source…read more I enjoyed every wine I tasted... but the reserves in particular are complex storytellers. It was they who originally seduced me, and lured me into purchase despite their slightly premium pricetags. I'll enjoy every drop. The vineyard offers a tour in conjunction with a tasting, if you'd like to see the vines and hear about their peculiar terrain (much you can view on the website, but still). It's a good idea to make an advance appointment, even if you're only interested in a tasting. Livia speaks excellent English.

We found this winery listed on an Italian website of places you don't need a reservation for a…read moretasting. We went dutifully during their open hours, but were turned away. The man who talked to us said "we do tastings for people to buy only, and our wines are very high-end." He then listed all the prices of his wines starting at 14 euros, going up to about 60. Expensive maybe for Friuli, but comparable to American prices, and not out of our budget. He didn't even really give us a chance to taste, just took one look at our clothes and car and decided his wines were too expensive for us. So we wasted a lot of time and effort finding this place. Being turned away without a chance, after having come across an ocean to be here? Hmm, won't be back.

Have you ever heard of the Vitovska grape? Neither have I. It seems to be one of the obscurist of…read morethe obscure. Like the wines of Radikon, Vodopivec makes a slightly cloudy, pink hue to it. Lots of fruits, peach, pear, apple, a bit earthy, some minerality. It's a weird dichotomy of things that dont seem to belong together sometimes. Paired with the food of Chef Ricard Camarena, it is wonderful but also somewhat perplexing. Im not sure if Im totally sold as something to drink on it's own. With the right pairings however, it does question my point of reference to what wine should be.
