Cellar, distillery and apiary tour with tasting at Rovero

Rovero is a family farm in the Valdonata valley at San Marzanotto, south of Asti. It makes organic wine and also runs a grappa distillery, where the family distils in a bain-marie still. A sommelier takes you round the cellar, the distillery and the beehives, with a short walk through the vines, before the tasting. It lasts about two hours. There are four formats, all booked through Il Milin, the family's agriturismo on the farm. "Light" is a standing tasting of three wines and a grappa with baked goods. "Gourmet" is a seated tasting of four wines and two grappas with a board of local salumi and cheese. "Relax" pours the same and adds a starter, a pasta course and dessert. "Emotion" is a full meal with five wines and two grappas. Prices aren't published, so ask for a quote when you book by phone or email through Il Milin.
