Enogourmet weekend: Franciacorta Festival in the cellar 2021

Discovering for the first time, or returning to visit the kingdom of Italian sparkling wines, Franciacorta, and the splendid places that make it an increasingly popular destination for wine lovers and gourmets, is always a great experience. Also this year the cellars of this eden dello sparkling wine reopen in the days on 11-12 and 18-19 September with the twelfth edition of the Franciacorta in Cantina Festival, two weekends among vineyards, Lake Iseo, monasteries, castles and historic houses.
The 65 participating wineries organize guided tours with tastings and special events such as vineyard tours, picnics among the rows, bike rides; moreover, visitors can take advantage of the excellent gastronomic proposals in the nearby restaurants and a rich offer of initiatives dedicated to entertainment and cultural study.

Ample space is dedicated to sportsmen, who can venture into the vineyards and hills by trekking and following itineraries on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.

The Franciacorta Festival attracts more and more visitors from all over Italy, for which they were designed ad hoc tour packages with weekend stay proposals in combinations of all kinds including wineries, agritourisms, hotels, restaurants and trattorias. The reservation of visits to the cellars is mandatory, by contacting the wineries directly.
The opening hours are from 10.00 to 13.00 and from 14.00 to 19.00.

Furthermore, from 10 to 24 September it is set up at the Franciacorta Consortium the photographic exhibition ConTurbing Women by Guido Taroni in support of DeediVita – an initiative born in 2016 from a collaboration between the historic textile company Mantero and the San Raffaele Hospital for the creation of a special turban dedicated to all women being treated for an oncological pathology at the facility. The turbans, in silk twill with a harvest and autumn themed motif, are on sale starting Friday 10 September at the headquarters of the Franciacorta Consortium (Erbusco – BS) and in a series of boutiques in Franciacorta and Brescia – Dafne Rovato, La Bottega di Mariella- L’Albereta Resort in Erbusco, Penelope, Five Brescia and the Mille Miglia Museum in Brescia – as well as on the mantero.com website.

Godmother of this project is Nabou Thiam, a young model from Brescia, today muse of the most prestigious fashion brands. Her photo has been added to the exhibition which features the faces of women who, thanks to their energy and communication skills, are the emblem of courage and strength.
It will be the volunteers of ESA – Education for Active Health (Esa-salutedonna.org) – a women’s association that since 2007 is actively involved in raising awareness of breast cancer treatment, to distribute the turbans within the hospitals of the Brescia area .
The exhibition will be open to the public every day from 10.00 to 17.00.
