Insider tip
Book a private ship tour (available through the organizers) to avoid the November crowds and gain seated tastings with winemakers; the small lakeside vessels offer an intimate experience unavailable to general admission crowds. Prioritize Ticino's Merlot producers and lesser-known Graubünden Pinot Noir makers who use this event for international discovery.
