Rimini, Santarcangelo di Romagna, Verucchio, San Clemente, San Giovanni in Marignano and Coriano have something in common. They’re among the cities of Sangiovese di Romagna, one of the oldest and most famous Italian wines.
Not everyone knows that Sangiovese wine is one of the most widespread and prized Italian grape varieties which, depending on where it grows, takes on different names: in Tuscany they call it Chianti, in Umbria Sagrantino, in Abruzzo Montepulciano.
This is travel through the villages and the wine cellars that rely on this traditional production, in its shades and variety. This trip is specifically gastronomic; try convincing a non-drinking friend to be your driver, so you can have all the sips you wish.


Boat Trips

Have you ever dreamed of spending a nice sunny day on a boat, sunbathing, and swinging with the sea?
The chances for a small cruise are many and various, you can set sail from Rimini, Cattolica, Bellaria, and Misano. Whatever excursion you choose, just remember to bring strong sunscreen and a hat. The sun on a boat is not the same as the land: you wouldn’t want a sunburn.
