Visit at the cellar
Cultural tasting
The visit begins with a pleasant walk through the vineyards. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the history of the Ciavolich family, originally from Bulgaria, who settled in Abruzzo in the 1500s and initiated wine production in Miglianico in 1853 at our oldest winery, which still remains accessible for visits.
Subsequently, guests will learn about our historical connection to Loreto Aprutino, established through a marriage at the turn of the century. They will also be informed about our development in the past forty years and how the winery began producing terroir wines exclusively from the vineyards and rows surrounding the farmhouse.
The tour will proceed to the cellar, where steel, wood, concrete, and terracotta barrels are housed. It will conclude with a tasting of four selected labels paired with Niko Romito’s and Bread Market’s traditional breads, complemented by our own olive oil produced from the monocultivar Dritta. Additionally, local dairy products paired with our refined Montepulciano jam will be offered.

Stratasting Dinner
Loreto Aprutino
The Stratasting Dinner emerges from the encounter between wine storytelling and local gastronomy.
Not a formal dinner, but a culinary journey celebrating the rural culture of Abruzzo through a succession of tastings, seasonal preparations, and carefully selected ingredients. Each menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, showcasing local excellence — from artisanal cheeses and cured meats to traditional recipes rooted in the culinary heritage of these hills.
The wines accompany the experience as true interpreters of the territory, creating a continuous dialogue between glass and table. An authentic experience designed for those who wish to discover Loreto Aprutino — not only through its vineyards, but through the flavors, traditions, and customs that define its identity.
Here, the cuisine still carries the aromas of country homes and the slow pace of the seasons. Every bite becomes part of a larger story: that of a place and the people who have shaped it over generations.

Cooking Class
Cooking is one of the most authentic ways to discover a land and its people.
Our Cooking Class is an immersive experience for those who wish to explore the gastronomic culture of Abruzzo through its time-honored traditions, flavors, and culinary rituals.
The day begins in the Ciavolich kitchen with the preparation of the dough, using simple ingredients and techniques handed down through generations. Guided step by step, guests learn to make pasta alla chitarra — one of Abruzzo’s most iconic specialties — shaped by the traditional wooden instrument that gives it its unmistakable form.
As hands work the dough and strands of fresh pasta take form, the sauce slowly simmers, filling the air with aromas that anticipate the meal and transform the preparation into a moment of genuine conviviality.
Once the workshop is complete, the pasta prepared by the guests becomes the centerpiece of a shared lunch. Gathered around the table, among stories, local flavors, and glasses of Ciavolich wine, guests enjoy the fruits of their work in a natural dialogue between cuisine and vineyard.
More than a cooking lesson, this is an opportunity to connect with the true soul of Abruzzo: a land defined by hospitality, tradition, skilled hands, and the pleasure of sharing good food and wine.
