#3 - Dardagny Presents: An Oenophile Escape to Beautiful Ticino


Escape to the sun-drenched canton of Ticino, a slice of Switzerland where Mediterranean flair meets Alpine majesty. This Italian-speaking region, with its palm trees, vibrant bougainvillea, and pristine lakes, offers a captivating blend of Swiss precision and southern European charm. Nestled amidst this picturesque landscape is Gudo, a tranquil village renowned for its vineyards and breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore. For wine aficionados, Ticino is a true hidden gem, a region celebrated for its Merlot wines that thrive in the fertile soil and temperate climate. This is a place where you can savor exceptional wines, indulge in exquisite local cuisine, and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of pure relaxation and natural beauty.

Your unforgettable journey begins with a two-night stay at the charming Fattoria dell’Amorosa, Vini Delea's exquisite guest house in Gudo. This beautifully restored farmhouse provides a serene and authentic Ticinese experience, surrounded by lush vineyards and offering a tranquil retreat from the everyday. The accommodations are a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, providing a welcoming haven for you and a guest. Experience an immersion into the winemaking lifestyle, where you can wake up to the sight of sun-drenched vines and enjoy the peaceful rhythms of the countryside.

During your stay, you will be treated to a special winery tour and tasting for two at Vini Delea in Losone. This renowned winery, a cornerstone of Ticinese viticulture, is celebrated for its commitment to quality and tradition. You will be guided through their cellars, including the Barricaia, learn about their winemaking process, and have the opportunity to taste a selection of their wines, from their celebrated Merlots to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, and Cabernet.

For those with a spirit of adventure and a passion for wine, we offer an exclusive opportunity to deepen your experience. Should you be willing to explore the region by car, you will have the opportunity to experience two additional tasting tours at two distinct wineries, both within an hour's drive from Gudo. This provides a unique chance to discover the diversity of Ticino's terroir and meet other passionate winemakers who are shaping the future of Swiss wine.

You will also receive four exclusive Swiss wines from Dardagny’s Wine Club to bring home after the event. These bottles represent the very best of Swiss viticulture, allowing you to look forward to your enchanting Ticino getaway.
