Wine tour: tasting Sardinia

The history of wine in Sardinia dates back to ancient times, during the Iron Age between 900 and 750 b.C., as this is the land of the first red wine makers in the whole Mediterranean Sea, who produced and drank a distant relative of today's sardinian Cannonau red wine.

All over Sardinia, you will see rows of autochthonous vines, which show the great wine production of the Island. Numerous wine cellars offer a "work of art" wine tasting. You will see beautiful locations and cellars, where wine tasting is truly a unique experience. From Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites, we propose three main, famous cellars:

  • the Surrau Cellar of Arzachena (Chilvagghja Town) - 30 minutes by car from Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites
  • the Siddura Cellar in Luogosanto - 1 hour by car from Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites
  • the Sella & Mosca Cellar of Alghero - almost 2 hours by car from Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites


"... I think that a great deal of happiness is given to men who were born where good wines are grown ..." (Leonardo de Vinci)
