Walk through Our Vineyard and Aperitif in Sardinia

Imagine strolling through sun-kissed vineyards in Sardinia, with a knowledgeable guide explaining the secrets of organic wine production. This tour, priced at around $48.97 per person and lasting just 1.5 hours, offers a chance to connect with Sardinian nature, traditions, and winemaking directly from local producers. You’ll start at the charming Eurospin in Villasimius, then hop into a nearby vineyard where you get a personal look at how Cannonau and Vermentino grapes are cultivated without chemicals—an approach that emphasizes organic practices and respect for the land.

What we really love about this experience are two things: First, the authenticity of walking among the vines with local guides who are eager to share their passion and knowledge. Second, the setting under a centuries-old carob tree creates a relaxing, almost familial atmosphere for tasting local wines and treats.

A possible consideration? The tour involves a brief car ride from the meeting point, so if you’re not comfortable with short transfers or have mobility issues, it’s worth planning ahead. Otherwise, this experience is best suited for individuals, couples, families, or groups who enjoy genuine, laid-back encounters with local culture and flavors—especially those eager to learn about Sardinian organic winemaking.

From there, Gianluca will meet you and guide you just five minutes’ drive to the vineyard—an easy, stress-free transfer that ensures you won’t get lost navigating rural roads.

The Walk Through the Vineyards

Once at the vineyard, the real magic begins. You’ll walk among the rows of Cannonau and Vermentino vines, the two star grapes of Sardinia. Guides Mario and Gianluca are passionate about organic farming, and their explanations shed light on why organic practices matter—not just for quality wine, but for environmental health too.

This part of the tour is a perfect blend of education and tranquility. We loved the way guides pointed out Mediterranean plants and shrubs—such as thyme, rosemary, and myrtle—that thrive in the local climate. These natural elements add layers of history and flavor to the land, and you’ll learn how they influence Sardinian cuisine and herbal remedies.
