What is Agriturismo ?

Agriturismo is an Italian term to describe a new type of tourism - one that combines elegant country living with exquisite gastronomy to create a unique vacation experience.

What makes agriturismo unique is the fact that guests have accommodations on a working farm or vineyard. In many cases, the villas and castles that open their doors to guests also offer tours and demonstrations of the local industry, whether it be winemaking, cheesemaking or olive oil production.

Most agriturismo destinations also offer outdoor activities such as swimming, horseback riding, trekking or bicycling. Of central importance in all cases, however, is the cuisine. Fresh, healthy and delicious meals are served up using traditional recipes and local products.

While the specific types of agriturismo accommodations may vary (some being more rustic than others), Valtellina Moto Touring selects only those estates with the highest quality of lodging and cuisine available. We select vineyard estates, villas and castles that can accommodate our tour groups in luxury while offering the amenities and special attention that our clients deserve.
