"Set against the backdrop of its natural beauty, Ticino is also renowned for its winemaking, with nearly 80 percent of the canton’s vineyards devoted to merlot grapes. One of the region's premier wineries is Tenuta Castello di Morcote, a 150-hectare estate known for its organic and biodynamic vineyards, olive groves, and a historic castle dating back to 1100. Managed by the Gianini family for four generations, the winery has earned a distinguished reputation for its rosé, chardonnay, and unique white merlot wines. In addition to sampling the vineyard’s exceptional wines, travelers can enrich their experience by participating in special events like wine dinners and staying at the family’s luxurious boutique hotel, Relais Castello di Morcote, elegantly housed in a former convent." - Taryn White Taryn White Taryn White is a D.C.-based travel writer who covers a wide range of topics, including family travel, hotels, food, aviation, beaches, historical and cultural topics, and wellness travel.

Our experience of wining and dining above Lake Lugano was nothing short of a dream. We sipped delicious wines and enjoyed a tour through their beautiful winery. The culinary experience was a delight (just look at the pictures!) and perfectly complemented by a selection of the local wines. Although we're not usually the biggest fans of biodynamic wines, these wines truly won us over, so much so that we left with a case of their white wine. We will definitely be back!

I went during the offseason. There’s an easy walk around the vineyards and castle. The wines are great and you pay for this supreme quality.

Serata Wine&Dinner: un'esperienza indimenticabile! L'atmosfera nel giardino della tenuta, illuminato dalle luci soffuse e dalle stelle, ha reso la degustazione di 5 vini abbinati a 5 portate gastronomiche un vero piacere per i sensi. Ogni piatto era un'esplosione di originalità, accompagnato da vini perfettamente selezionati. L'aperitivo, con una selezione di vini a scelta, è stato un preludio perfetto alla cena. Consiglio vivamente di approfittare del percorso guidato prima dell'aperitivo, che conduce all'interno del castello e tra i filari dei vigneti. Vale davvero la pena!

Tenuta stupenda con vista strepitosa. Percorso degustazione molto interessante e gradevole in una location meritevole. La cantina è spettacolare per l’ordine e pulizia: una boutique. La signora Alice ci ha accompagnato, con grande professionalità, grazia e competenza, nel percorso di degustazione.

Nous sommes venus pour une soirée Wine&Dine. Endroit magique. Super accueil. Visite de la cave en anglais avant de passer à table. Le repas était excellent et nous a permis de déguster quelques vins. Malheureusement trop de vins blancs à notre goût, mais nous avons pu prendre le seul rouge disponible sur le menu.

Wunderschönes Weingut mit eigenem Wanderpfad zur Burg (sonst nicht öffentlich). Traumhafte Aussicht, historisch-modernes Ambiente, freundliche Menschen und leckerer Wein - was will man mehr 😍 Tipp: Falls das Tor geschlossen sein sollte, einfach klingeln.
