Vendemmia Turistica at Fontefico ★ 4.4
A harvest day at Vasto: pick with the team, follow the fruit into the cellar and eat with the estate's wines afterwards.

Vertical Tasting at Fontefico ★ 4.5
Three vintages of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, 2006, 2007 and 2008, poured side by side at the Vasto estate.

Ride out through the Vasto vineyards and stop for a tasting, an option the estate lists alongside its cellar flights.
