Serralunga d'Alba, Italy
Azienda Agricola Schiavenza belongs to the traditional side of Serralunga d’Alba: estate Barolo, Nebbiolo structure, and a farmhouse dining-room atmosphere tied closely to the cellar.

A small, family-run Valpolicella Classico producer in San Pietro In Cariano, Azienda Agricola Selùn is built around the hill-country logic of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara.

Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

Cormons, Italy
Azienda Agricola Sutto Polje is a quiet Collio DOC estate in Cormons, framed by vineyard views and a rural tasting rhythm rather than polished wine-tourism theater.

Barolo, Italy
A traditional Langhe estate in Barolo, Azienda Agricola Veglio Giovanni & Figli is built around cellar tastings, direct sales, and a broad Piedmontese range led by Barolo DOCG. The draw is not design theatre but continuity: family winemaking since 1899, Nebbiolo and Barbera in familiar regional register, and a small-scale visit shaped by vineyard country rather than polished hospitality staging.
San Paolo Di Jesi, Italy

Copertino, Italy
Azienda Monaci is a small Copertino estate shaped around Negroamaro, alberello-trained vines and a rural Puglian cellar culture that prioritizes production over polished hospitality.

Neive, Italy
Azienda Vinicola Ugo Lequio belongs to Neive’s terroir-led Barbaresco conversation, with Gallina Hill giving the estate its spine.

Cecina, Italy
A rural Cecina winery with roots in family farming since 1976, Ferrari Iris e Figli belongs to the quieter side of coastal Tuscan wine: estate fruit, DOC labels, Bordeaux varieties beside Sangiovese and Vermentino, and cellar work built around stainless steel, barriques and oak casks.

Settimo San Pietro, Italy
A countryside Sardinian winery in Su Leunaxi near Settimo San Pietro, Azienda Vitivinicola Ferruccio Deiana reads through the land first: Vermentino, Cannonau, Monica, Carignano, Bovale and Barbera Sarda tied to Parteolla and Basso Campidano soils.

Monze, France
Badet Clement & Co. is a modern wine-production hub in Monze, set among the Aude vineyards between Corbières and Limoux.

Gaiole in Chianti, Italy
Badia a Coltibuono is a Chianti Classico estate where the wine story begins with an 11th-century abbey, organic farming, and Sangiovese grown in the hills around Gaiole in Chianti.

Terricciola, Italy
Badia di Morrona frames Terre di Pisa wine through scale, history and soil rather than tasting-room theatre. The Terricciola estate combines an abbey origin, Sangiovese-led vineyards, olive groves, woods, a sustainable gravity-fed winery and agriturismo hospitality into a visit that reads as much about place as portfolio.
Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Badischer Weinbauverband is the professional hub behind Baden wine culture in Freiburg im Breisgau, representing 453 member wineries and cooperatives rather than operating as a conventional estate. Its relevance is regional: Baden’s nine subregions, Pinot-family strength, sustainability agenda, and annual wine and Sekt prize culture all converge here.
Breisach Am Rhein, Germany
Badischer Winzerkeller is Baden’s cooperative scale made visible: vast cellar architecture, a terrace-facing tasting format, and a portfolio shaped by the warm Kaiserstuhl and broader Baden vineyard network.

Wa Lowden, Australia
Bakkheia Wines is a small Preston Valley producer in Wa Lowden, working within the Geographe Wine Region’s warmer, maritime-influenced conditions.

Villány, Hungary
Bakonyi Winery is a small organic cellar in Villány, shaped around Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos, Portugieser, Olaszrizling, Furmint and pét-nat rather than cellar-door spectacle.

Meursault, France
Ballot-Millot belongs to Meursault’s quieter, terroir-led side: a family-run Burgundy domaine shaped by chalky Côte de Beaune soils, old vines and a classical cellar approach.

Montalcino, Italy
Banfi gives Montalcino’s wine-estate experience a grand scale: a castle setting, vineyard views, historic stone architecture, and a production identity built around Brunello di Montalcino. Its significance comes from the meeting of heritage and technical ambition, with a large Sangiovese program, hospitality on the estate, and a polished Tuscan atmosphere suited to a slower visit rather than a quick tasting stop.
Strevi, Italy
Banfi Piemonte gives Strevi a production-led wine visit rather than a lounge-led tasting. The draw is the relationship between Alta Langa sparkling technique, local Piedmont varieties and a renovated cellar environment where vineyards, tank rooms and pupitres frame the experience with unusual clarity.
Stege, Denmark

Sommerach, Germany
BIO-Weingut Daniel Then is a small organic Franconian family winery in Sommerach, rooted in estate history dating to 1849 and now shaped by certified organic viticulture.

Hochheim am Main, Germany
BIO-Weingut Mitter-Velten belongs to Hochheim am Main’s quieter organic current: Riesling-led, locally rooted, and shaped by the Rheingau’s long conversation between river climate and structured white wine. Its modern identity dates to May 2003, with Martin Mitter associated with the estate, MAINWERK3 membership, Fair and Green certification, and a Falstaff-rated 2017 Hochheim Reichestal Riesling Kabinett halbtrocken giving the address clear credibility.
Poysdorf, Austria
BIO-Weingut Valentin Oppenauer belongs to Poysdorf’s more independent organic current, with spontaneous fermentation, estate-grown fruit and a clear preference for lighter, dry Austrian wines. The useful context is terroir: Weinviertel loess, calcareous clay and sandstone meet Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Zweigelt, rosé and PetNat in a format that reads less commercial and more personal.
Ses Salines, Spain
BODEGAS CA N'TINA is a small Mallorca winery in Ses Salines, founded in 2024 with a vegan production philosophy and a compact portfolio built around Monastrell, Syrah, Macabeo, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
