BOOK YOUR EXPERIENCE
Capriva del Friuli
Follow the Collio Trails, tracing the roots of its fine wines and rediscovering them in an exclusive menu by a local chef.
The wines will tell the story of Collio and of its land. A tale with a surprising ending: the Saturday dinner, where each wine will be paired with a typical local dish.
THE CHEF
CHIARA CANZONERI
The connection between her land of origin, Caorle, and her new home, Collio, is evident in her dishes: after years of experience on the Veneto coast and important national awards, since 2010 Chiara Canzoneri has settled in Gorizia, where she continues to explore Central European gastronomic culture, interpreted with a modern twist and enhanced by a careful selection of raw materials. Since 2019, she has been involved in training and promoting the region, including through events organised as a personal chef.
All of Collio in a wine glass
At the Enoteca di Cormòns, which brings together more than thirty wine cellars in the area, you will find all of Collio in a glass of wine: during an educational tasting led by Michele Paiano, AIS delegate for the province of Gorizia, you will be given an overview of the area’s wine heritage, through the pairing of three Collio DOC wines with three local products.
Wines beyond borders
In historic Oslavia, you will visit a winegrowing family that has been cultivating vineyards on its land for almost two centuries: the Radikon winery, part of the Ribolla Producers’ Association of Oslavia, preserves the winegrowing memory of this area, where Italy and Slovenia meet.
One land, many tastes
The Venica vineyards, a winegrowing family since 1930, extend over 40 hectares of different hills in the DOC Collio area, each with different microclimates that give the wines - from Friulano to Sauvignon, from Ribolla Gialla to Chardonnay - an incredible variety and complexity of characteristics.
LUNCH AT THE LIVON WINERY
After an initial tasting session, Collio wines will be the protagonists of a menu prepared for the occasion by chef Chiara Canzoneri. You will take your place at a table overlooking the vineyards, surrounded by the greenery of Azienda Agricola Livon: a historic winery with over fifty years of history, since Dorino Livon bought the first land on the Collio hills in 1964.
