"Through the flavors, stories, and emotions of wine, hosted by a chic sailor and certified sommelier aboard a classic sailing yacht on Lake Como."
Carefully selected bottles, breathtaking scenery, and genuine conversation come together to create an experience designed for those looking for something truly unique.
Sail. Taste. Discover.
Most wine tastings happen in a cellar.
This one happens under sail.
As the boat glides across the waters of Lake Como, you'll discover a personal selection of wines chosen not from a catalog, but from the bottles that the Italian Sommelier Emanuele genuinely loves to drink and share.
Every wine has a story, every glass has a reason, and every tasting becomes an opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy.
This is an intimate experience for curious travelers, wine lovers, and anyone seeking an unforgettable moment away from traditional tourist activities.
Hosted by a Sailor and Sommelier
Wine and sailing share something special: both reward patience, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for nature.
Both of us we'll guide you through each tasting while sharing insights, stories, and anecdotes about the wines, the producers, and the regions they come from.
The atmosphere is informal, relaxed, and engaging—more like spending time with a knowledgeable friend than attending a formal tasting.
Half & Full Wine Tasting Experience: 4 or 6 bottles?
Choose between a Half Tasting (4 wines) or a Full Tasting (6 wines), both hosted by a sailor and sommelier aboard a private sailing boat on Lake Como.
Each experience is built around a personal selection of wines, shared in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere while sailing.
Alongside the tasting, a curated aperitivo platter is served, paired with water and iced tea for a complete and comfortable experience on board.
Whether you choose 4 or 6 wines, the philosophy is the same: exclusive bottles, personal storytelling, and a unique moment on the lake.
More Than a Tasting
This experience isn't about collecting labels or checking wines off a list.
It's about slowing down, sharing stories, enjoying beautiful surroundings, and discovering wines through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves them.
For those searching for an exclusive, authentic, and unforgettable experience on Lake Como, this is something truly different.
