About Franciacorta in Cellar

For an autumn weekend, the rolling hills of Franciacorta become the most charming stage for lovers of Italian wine. With the Franciacorta in Cellar Festival, dozens of wineries - including those in Adro - open their doors to visitors, wine tourists, and sommeliers: guided tours, Classic Method tastings, masterclasses, and direct meetings with producers. A unique opportunity to discover up close one of Italy's most prestigious sparkling wines, in the heart of the Province of Brescia.

Franciacorta Opens its Cellars

In Franciacorta, the hilly area of the Province of Brescia world-famous for its Classic Method sparkling wine, autumn is the season for open cellars. The Franciacorta in Cellar Festival transforms the territory into a vast wine tourism trail: among the featured municipalities is Adro, where wineries such as Corte Aura, Ronco Calino, and La Torre welcome visitors to share their wine stories.

What the Festival Offers

For an entire weekend, wineries offer a rich program of experiences:

  • Guided tours of cellars and vineyards
  • Tastings of Franciacorta Classic Method
  • Masterclasses on winemaking techniques and the method
  • Direct meetings with producers

The Classic Method

Franciacorta is a sparkling wine produced with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the same method as Champagne: this is why the festival is a precious opportunity to understand its techniques and appreciate its quality directly from those who produce it. In Adro and other municipalities within the appellation, the event attracts enthusiasts, industry professionals, and the curious, fostering a dialogue between wine culture, landscape, and hospitality that makes Franciacorta an excellent wine tourism destination.
