A Day in the Vineyard

Boat tour on Lake Como with visit to a Valtellina vineyard and guided tasting

The charm of Lake Como, the mountain tenacity of Valtellina: this boat tour integrates an exclusive sensory experience, discovering the food and wine excellence of northern Italy.

We set off from the waters of Lake Como, sailing north to the Valtellina, where the lake meets the Alpine peaks. Here the journey continues with a visit to the vineyard, to get to know the world of mountain viticulture, defined as “heroic” because of the enormous efforts it requires, and culminates with a food and wine tasting: a journey through the best selections of white, red and rosé wines from Lake Como and the Valtellina terraces, accompanied by local specialities such as km0 cured meats, typical cheeses, bruschetta with extra virgin olive oil from Lake Como.

The vineyard experience is scheduled either in the morning (11.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m.) or in the afternoon (2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.), depending on pick-up time.

What documents should I bring with me on the day of the rental/tour?

It is sufficient to present a valid identification document (ID card or passport) and, if required for the type of charter, the original boat licence. For private and shared tours, an ID card is sufficient for identification. To speed up check-in, it is important to bring the contract, automatically generated at the time of booking, completed and signed.

What happens in case of bad weather?

Safety is our top priority. In the event of adverse weather conditions that make sailing unsafe, the captain (if any) or our team will assess the options. Generally, an attempt will be made to reschedule the charter or tour date. If this is not possible, the refund policies in the contract terms will apply.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept a wide range of payment methods for your convenience. Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) are included. All payments are handled through secure platforms to protect your sensitive data.

How can I book a boat or tour?

Generally, you can select the boat (in case of charter) or the private tour with skipper/driver, the desired dates, the most convenient time, and the place you wish to depart from directly on our website. After filling in an online form with your details, you can proceed to the secure payment to confirm your booking. You will receive a confirmation e-mail with all the necessary details for your journey.

Can I bring food and drink on board?

For bareboat charters (without crew), you are free to organise your own catering. For many guided/private tours or skippered charters, we sometimes offer refreshment or lunch packages on board at an additional cost, but you are often allowed to bring your own. Always check the specific conditions when booking.

Can I customise the tour or rental itinerary?

Yes, we offer flexibility. For bareboat charters, you are free to sail within the permitted limits. For private tours with a skipper, you can make changes or create your own itineraries by writing to experience@nausika.it.
