Claudio and Elena Farina
Farina Wines offers much more than just exceptional wines; it provides a comprehensive sensory experience within its expanded winery. Nestled within a contemporary farmhouse-style edifice, the winery stands as a living embodiment of the seamless blend of tradition and modernity. Inviting tasting rooms within the historic dovecote allure visitors to savour the complex flavours of Farina’s distinguished wines, accompanied by locally sourced culinary delights, thereby elevating the entirety of the wine tourism experience.
Sustainable, low-impact viticulture forms the backbone of Farina Wines’ ethos. Farina embraces technological progress and extensive oenological research. Innovative concrete and ceramic containers serve as a canvas, allowing the wines to express their natural balance and complexity. This is a testament to the sustainable practices that align with the broader principles fostered by the GWCGN.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024, the Best Of Wine Tourism Awards symbolise the apex of excellence within the industry. An initiative by the GWCGN acknowledges outstanding achievements and sets the global standard for wine tourism. Verona’s accomplishments within the network significantly contribute to the evolution of wine tourism, with Farina Wines shining brightly as an exemplary beacon.
As accolades continue to accumulate, it is clear that Farina Wines is not just winning awards but also crafting unforgettable experiences. The symbiotic relationship between the Best Of Wine Tourism Awards and the GWCGN drives the transformation of Verona into a flourishing epicentre of wine tourism. It is fuelled by overarching principles of excellence, sustainability, and reverence for tradition, and invites both aficionados and novices alike into a realm where each sip is a symphony, and every visit is an artistic revelation.
