May 17 heralds Pinot Grigio Day and what better way to celebrate than with one of our Ultimate Winery Experiences. 

This white grape variety, named after the colour of their skin (grigio is grey in Italian), includes diverse styles ranging from elegant, crisp and zesty to more textured, silky and complex. Thriving in cooler climates, Pinot Grigio is rapidly becoming one of Australia’s favourite white wines for its apple and pear characters and refreshing qualities.

Located in the incredibly scenic King Valley, Pizzini Wines specialise in Italian wine varieties including Pinot Grigio. Learn more about this amazing variety on one of their premium experiences such as The Maker's Journey - Sites, Sips and Barrels or the King Valley Experienza. Or make it truly decadent experience with an Overnight Wine and Food Escape where you will enjoy a tutored wine tasting, Italian grazing platter, 1 night twin share accommodation at the Mountain View Hotel and a four-course dinner with matching wines. 

Also boasting Italian heritage, Yarra Valley's De Bortoli Wines offer an impressive array of Pinot Grigio. Experience De Bortoli's mastery in Italian wine styles for yourself on an Ultimate Behind the Scenes and Wine Blending Experience or an Ultimate Wine Lover's Experience with Lunch. Both experiences provide an  opportunity to immerse yourself in the story of the De Bortoli family, one of determination and triumph that started nearly 90 years ago, and to taste wines from barrels and tanks.

Happy Pinot Grigio Day!
