Visit the Classic Valpolicella by entering through its gateway. Take a stroll in the village of Castelrotto, on the top of the central hill, which hosts the ruins of the castle built in the 7th century, where in 1177 King Frederick II of Swabia gave life to the name Valpolicella. Giampiero Borghetti Winery and the Castrum Wine Bistro await you for daytime and evening tastings.
Castrum Wine Relais opens its doors to offer you an unforgettable stay in beautiful rooms with urban comfort that narrate the birth of wine from grape harvest to their drying process, ultimately turning them into the beloved Amarone. Casa dei Fraccaroli is ready to amaze you with its Luxury Suites. You can thus approach the story of the sculptor Innocenzo Fraccaroli, born in this place in 1805, whose sculptures inspire our Castrum wine line, the recipes of the cocktails served at our Bistro, and the names of the 5 Luxury Suites. This is how you will enter the enchanting world of Davide, Giustizia, Clizia, Icaro, and Achille. During the day, it is possible to visit the winery, the barrel room, and the aging facility and learn about the winemaking processes of our wines.
The tour continues among the barrels or on the panoramic terrace with the tasting and explanation of our wines accompanied by gastronomic products from the area. In the evening, choose a Short Journey with two wines, or a Long Journey with four wines, at the Castrum Wine Bistro, a concept venue located in the romantic medieval village of Castelrotto with cozy stone rooms. We are waiting for you in this magical place!
