Discover the identity of Porto Santo Stefano on this walking tour that will unveil their historical secrets and traditions of this picturesque small Tuscan village.

Porto Santo Stefano is the largest seaport town of Monte Argentario, where you can find a picturesque bay with an old port, a lively marina with yachts, restaurants and shops and colourful houses perched on the promontory. Because of its good geographical location, it has been inhabited since ancient times and the Romans left significant traces of their presence, including the remains of the baths of Domitian. The Spanish Fort, a military structure that was built by the Spanish between the end of the 16th and the start of the 17th century, overlooks the historical centre of the town and was completely restored in the second half of the last century. Today it hosts the Museum of Axe Masters and other displays that include local archaeological artefacts. Explore on foot the little town with your guide that will trace the local history for you and end up your visit with a taste of delicious genuine gelato.

Description

Explore the history and flavors of a Corsican winery in the foreground of Mount Grossu during this guided winery Yachting Land Adventure and tasting outing. Depart the pier enroute to a family business full of history of lineage to central Corsican culture. After an approximate 30-minute drive you will arrive at the winery created in the 1960s by Baron Henry Louis de La Grange, and also the owner of the Convent of Alzipratu. This winery was run by Maurice Acquaviva before being taken over by his son, Pierre, and his wife, Cécilia.

The vineyard at Mount Grossu is composed of several south-facing parcels, within approximately 99-acres (40 hectares), and split into two main parts. The vineyards are planted primarily with traditional Corsican varietals. The vines lie at the foothills of Mount Grossu, whose peak towers approximately 6,398 feet (about 1,950 metres) above sea level and is just minutes from the coastline. This results in highly contrasted climatic influences, thanks to the vineyard's proximity to both the sea and the mountains.

Experience a guided walking tour of the vineyard with the owner and discussion with the local Oenologist (wine expert) followed by a tasting of the wines pared with local specialties. Learn about the connection between dining and the vines of the wines you are discovering in Corsica. Afterward there is free time to explore on your own or ask more detailed questions of your Oenologist before returning to the yacht.
