Franciacorta is a splendid region of Lombardy, a stone's throw from Brescia and within easy reach of the rest of Europe. Nature has over thousands of years sculpted this ancient land, creating a breathtakingly varied landscape awash with colour, that yields its most prized treasure, the wine. Yet its history has been moulded by man, who has toiled for centuries to create an impressive cultural heritage. The Associazione Strada del Franciacorta was set up to promote and preserve this heritage.

A wine tour of Franciacorta is not just about the discovery of wine. Each cellar chronicles the history of the families of Franciacorta who with tenacity and determination upheld the tradition of wine production. Now famous throughout the world, these wines bear the DOCG classification (denominazione di origine controllata e garantita). The Associazione Strada della Strada del Franciacorta promotes tailor-made excursions to the cellars of this wine region in addition to arranging access to wine tasting events.
