Today, we will aim to depart at 9am on a journey that takes us to the elegant city of Trento, where Italian and Alpine influences blend beautifully. A local guide will lead us on a walking tour through the historic centre, taking in the Piazza Duomo, frescoed buildings and the impressive Buonconsiglio Castle, once home to the city’s powerful bishops, who held both religious and political authority. With free time to explore, you might choose to enjoy lunch in one of the city’s welcoming piazzas or browse local shops at your own pace.
In the afternoon, we will visit the renowned Ferrari wine estate, producers of Italy’s finest sparkling wine. We’ll learn about the traditional method used to create these award-winning wines before enjoying a tasting paired with local delicacies. This is a refined, relaxed day of culture and flavour, with gentle walking and plenty of time to enjoy each setting.
We will return to the hotel in late afternoon, with plenty of time to relax and freshen up before dinner.
