Story: Ticino and California in a bottle
Heady scents amid vineyard-covered hills and stunning views.
Two regions with a wealth of history and tradition that have been making exquisite wines for years. Falling in love with Mendrisiotto and its grapes is easy even for those from far away.
Louise, Wine-lover, lives in Ticino and Mendrisiotto keeps her memories of California alive.
With a bit of imagination it could look like the Pacific Ocean.
On the wine-growing terraces of Mendrisiotto, overlooking Lake Lugano, is where Louise remembers her beloved Napa Valley. The sun is rising and the fresh air heralds a day of full harvest.
Grab a basket and off you go! Louise fell in love with Ticino and its wine from day one. Oval in shape, purplish in colour, slightly rough to the touch, with a mildly acidic taste and sweet scent.
A multisensory experience that offers unforgettable moments.
But when she wants to relax, Louise undoubtedly prefers to be on a boat in the middle of Lake Lugano surrounded by breath-taking views, just like a sunny day on a Californian beach!
And when her friends come to visit her? "There are so many extraordinary and unique places in Ticino!" In fact, Louise has lots of options: from a trip to Monte San Salvatore to a rejuvenating swim in the rivers of the Verzasca or Maggia valleys, finishing with a tasty dinner based on Ticino flavours in an enchanting grotto restaurant. But let's not forget fun local events such as the Harvest Festival!
