Wine weekend in Bergamo

Visit charming Bergamo and taste the wines in Valcalepio and Franciacorta

Come and enjoy a nice wine weekend in Bergamo! This charming town is located around one hour northeast of Milan and just below the Alps. The original town center was built on a hilltop and were protected by strong city walls that still exist. Nowadays it’s called Bergamo Alta (upper town) and is nearly completely free from traffic. It’s really nice to stroll around among the charming streets and squares with its ancient palaces and nice little shops.
The newer part, Bergamo Bassa (lower town), with its wide boulevards were built in the beginning of the 1900. The upper and lower parts can easily be reached with the city’s cable railway.

Combine the charming town of Bergamo with the excellent wines in Valcalepio and Franciacorta during a nice getaway!
