A medieval jewel above the vineyards
Laguardia
Why Laguardia?
Perched on a gentle hill, Laguardia is a beautiful village surrounded by mountains and vineyards, stepped out of a storybook! In the Old Town, the presence of countless wineries beneath the streets and solid stone walls speak quietly of the town’s long history! Around the village, vast vineyards and the scent of oak barrels blend together in the breeze, creating a uniquely rich wine culture! At dusk, as the fields turn golden, a stroll through the old streets reveals the village’s own special charm!
