Wine tours

Are you a lover of fine wines and gastronomy and would like to discover the Corsican grape varieties during your holiday? Then you’ve come to the right place. Take part in a unique wine tour and embark on a journey to the heart of a vineyard. The Sartenais Valinco Taravo is an agricultural region with an AOC of around 163 ha in Sartène. It is one of the 1st regions in Corsica where wine is part of life. Indeed, this land benefits from an exceptional amount of sunshine. The special character of the granitic soil of the terroir is a particular highlight. Ideal for growing grapes. Fiumicicoli, Saparale, Pero longo, Castellu di Baricci, Sant’Armettu… open their doors to you for a visit. In fact, they’ll tell you all about their know-how. In Sartène or in the villages of Taravo, give in to the pleasures of wine, whether pink, white or red.

A strong identity on the island!

Meeting the local winegrowers

Every Friday, the Sartenais-Valinco-Taravo Tourist Office offers a discovery trip to the heart of one of the Sartenais vineyard estates.
Each week, David embarks a small group of around twenty people, departing from the Propriano Tourist Office, and takes them to meet the local winegrowers.

On the programme: the history of Corsican wine, the island’s grape varieties and know-how, a tour of the vineyards, tasting in the cellars… To complete the experience in ‘locavore’ mode, the wine tasting is accompanied by Corsican sausage and Sarten tomme, made respectively by our local producers, Salameria Cianferani and the Mallaroni cheese dairy.
