In the months of June, July, August and September, our Company had organized free wine tours to visit our estate, in order to spread the culture of the good wine. We will drive our guests inside our structure, explaining what are the phases that are performed from the cultivation of the grape in our vineyards of Ciro Marina to the bottle we find on our tables, how to serve it, with what dishes, and what are those necessary characteristics for the production of healthy, good and successful wines. At the end of every tour, a small refreshment is anticipated contemplated to the tasting of a fine selection of our best wines, entirely organized by our staff. The event will have a duration of about two hours and it is scheduled to start at 17:00 pm.

We visited Senatore Vini for a tour of their headquaters, where their delicious wines are produced, surrounded by vineyards all round. We loved the whole experience, as well as getting to try their amazing wines along with some nibbles and cheese. The guide was held by the owners themselves and it was very interesting to learn all about the process and some wine history background. To say we loaded the car of wines is the least :)

We visited the castle in the late afternoon which is a great time to go because you get the cool breeze and the sunset. €4 per adult seemed like good value for money. Signs in multiple languages. We wandered around for about an hour enjoying the views and learning about the history.

Located in the historic city center and a few steps from the medieval castle of Charles V, it has two floors: on the first floor are exhibited in chronological order (from prehistoric times up to Roman times) the findings concerning the ancient city of Kroton; while on the second floor are exposed, besides the findings concerning the "neighboring" cities (Krimisa and Kaulon mainly), also the askos stolen in Strongoli and finished at the Paul Getty Museum in Malibù in 1992 and returned to Crotone in 2007. Also in the second floor an entire room is dedicated to the "treasure of Hera", a series of votive artifacts including Diadema of Hera: a gold foil decorated on the outside with a set of leaves (maybe myrtle) and berries interlaced between them.
