Come and discover the finest PDO and PGI certified foods and wines and experience the authentic soul of this land
Discover experiences rich in emotion. Beyond the usual itineraries.
Forget the hustle and bustle. Recharge in an unrepeatable landscape, with heroic terraced vineyards, villages suspended in time, adventures between sky and earth. Discover a unique territory of ancient traditions, time that flows slowly, calm and good food.
Stop for a taste experience at the “Valtellina PDO and PGI Stations”.
These are places of food with a strong local identity where – every weekend from 10 April to 21 June – you can savour our PDO and PGI specialties, letting yourself be won over by the intensity of bresaola and cheeses, the aroma of apples and pizzoccheri, the character of our wines.
Immerse yourself in the secrets of this land by listening to the podcast ” A Valley of Emotions “:
the stories of those who keep precious knowledge alive will accompany you step by step.
Valtellina Land of Emotions is an initiative of the Valtellina Quality Agri-Food District, in partnership with APF Valtellina and with the contribution of the Province of Sondrio.
The Journey of Emotions
You are about to embark on a journey that will bring you closer to this valley, unfiltered.
