Appia Wine Road Experience

Cantina Botrugno

Brindisi is the traditional gesture of conviviality, but also the name of our city and its D.O.C. wine. Here, you can experience the journey from vineyard to bottle and discover the story of the Botrugno family, rooted in tradition and passion. The Botrugno family will be delighted to guide visitors through their vineyards, wines, and local products, all while enjoying a privileged view over the port of Brindisi.

Cantine Risveglio

Cantine Risveglio, with “Appia Wine Road,” invites visitors to discover the bond between the Via Appia, the land, and wine. Guests can experience the vineyards and traditional viticulture — including work with horses and the harvest — and conclude with technical tastings of Negroamaro and Susumaniello, expressions of Brindisi’s soils and sea breezes.

Masseria Masciullo

The welcome unfolds like a journey: from the vineyard, to understand the agronomic practices and soil characteristics, to the cellar, and finally, the tasting, a moment to appreciate the terroir.

Tenute Bellamarina

The visit includes a tour of the production areas and the barrel cellar, with an explanation of the various stages of winemaking. This is followed by a guided tasting of three labels that illustrate both the territory and the estate’s production philosophy. There is also the opportunity to take guided walks through the vineyards in order to observe closely the cultivated varieties, training systems and agronomic practices employed.

Tenute Lu Spada

The winery offers a complete visitor experience featuring tastings, cultural events, and food and wine pairings. With “Appia Wine Road,” you can visit the winery and vineyards, enjoy a panoramic view of the Lake Cillarese, and follow the route of the ancient Appian Way toward the sea. At the end of the tour, you will taste three glasses of our wines. Tours are available in Italian and English, with no minimum number of participants.

Tenute Rubino

Welcome and introduction to the Brindisi area as the “landing point” of the Appian Way; visit to the production areas and barrel cellar with a focus on the estate’s philosophy; guided tasting of representative wines, with particular attention to Susumaniello. Upon request, a walk through the rows of the Jaddico estate, along the Via Appia Traiana.
