Special opening of wine cellars 2011

The traditional event Cantine Aperte, (i.e. a special opening of wine cellars), organized by Movimento Turismo del Vino will take place on Sunday 29th May in the whole region of Umbria, involving visitors and lovers who come to taste the best wines straight from the producers.

As usual many cellars will take part into the event, taking visitors along wine routes, discovering the best made in Umbria wines.

Every wine cellar organizes different events, each one dedicated to the main protagonist of the day: wine. The big opening is planned on Saturday 28th May, with theme-dinners where typical Umbrian products represent the main courses, and the best local wines are on the table.

On Sunday 29th May several cellars in Umbria are organizing special wine tours, with experts taking the guests along the most important wine routes, with tastings and slow food centers.

The 2011 event has a big importance, also because Perugia has been chosen as the city where the 4th International Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop will take place, from 30th January to 2nd February 2012.
