Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers: A Winery Experience

A morning spent among the rows of vines, the stories of those who prune them, a table set without haste. That’s why an experience at a winery makes for a great gift—one that an object often fails to provide.

Why do we remember an experience but not an object?

Objects wear out or are forgotten. Experiences linger, and they remain tied to those who gave them: anyone returning from a visit to a winery talks about the day for weeks, and you’re part of that story, too.

Then there's a practical aspect. Giving the gift of an experience means giving the gift of time together: almost always, the recipient brings someone else along, and the gift becomes even more meaningful.

And unlike a gift set, there's no box to unwrap or a date to decide on in a hurry: you can take your time choosing, even months later.

The Right Opportunities

  • Birthdays. The classic gift for someone who already has everything: you’re not adding another item to their home—you’re adding another day to their calendar.
  • Anniversaries. A tasting for two, sitting at a table with someone who tells stories about family and the hills, is a different way to celebrate than the usual dinner.
  • Christmas and the holidays. You can decide at the last minute: the gift certificate arrives by email, so it works even on December 24 at 7:00 p.m.
  • Degrees and milestones. A way to say, “You’ve accomplished something important,” without resorting to a photo frame.
  • Corporate gifts. Here, the experience beats a Christmas basket by a mile. A client receives dozens of product packages in December and remembers none of them; an afternoon at the winery, however, they’ll remember. And it works just as well internally, as a reward or team-building activity: we can accommodate groups of up to sixteen people. For multiple orders, email us at mara@ermacora.it or message us on WhatsApp: we’ll prepare whatever you need.

How the Ermacora Gift Card Works

We kept it simple, because a gift shouldn't be a chore.

  1. Choose the amount. The gift certificate is valid for amounts ranging from 10 to 30 €. It can be used as payment for any experience on the program: if the experience you choose costs more, the difference is paid at the time of booking. You can combine multiple gift certificates if you want to give the gift as a group.
  2. You'll receive it right away via email. No shipping, no waiting, no packages to pick up on time.
  3. They choose who receives it. That’s the part we like best: the gift certificate is valid for all our winery experiences, so the recipient can choose the one that suits them best and book whenever it’s convenient for them. You’re giving them an opportunity, not an obligation to add to their calendar. And there’s no rush: the gift certificate has no expiration date.

The Gift Certificate at a Glance

  • Amount: 10 to 30 €, as desired
  • Delivery: via email, a few minutes after purchase
  • Validity: Applies to all scheduled experiences; any balance due can be paid at the time of booking
  • Deadline: none
  • You can add multiple coupons to the same reservation

What can they choose?

All of our experiences begin in the vineyard and end at the table, but they each have their own unique character.

Winery Notes (starting at €20) is the simplest option: a tour and four wines chosen together, based on what you feel like tasting at that moment. Ideal for first-time visitors.

The Neighbors' Pantry (starting at €30) includes a locally sourced platter featuring artisanal cheeses and cured meats from our neighbors up on the hill.

Intimate Pairings (starting at €45) is the perfect choice for those who already know their wine: four unexpected flavors, specially crafted to bring out the best in the paired wines.

Inside the Grape Harvest (starting at €25) is only available during the harvest, for just a few weeks each year: the same grapes tasted as whole clusters, as must, and as wine.

Children and pets are welcome; there's plenty of parking on the property, and we speak Italian, English, and German.

How to Give the Gift of a Tasting at Our Place

We’re in Orsaria di Premariacco, in the Colli Orientali region, and we’ve been making wine on these hills since 1922. Anyone who comes here with a gift certificate isn’t treated like just another customer to be processed, but like a guest—and that’s why most people come back.

Give the gift of a winery experience: it arrives by email in just a few minutes, and the recipient gets to choose.

If, on the other hand, you're thinking about a corporate gift or a large group, please contact us: we'll work together to find the right solution.
