“I Calanchi di Riosto” is a wonderful agritourism in direct synergy with the winefarm “Podere Riosto”, wines from the Hills of Bologna. 
It is composed of the premises „Casalino”, “Torre” and “Carvulla”, in former times called “A Riosto”, during 1200 in possession of the progenitors of the renowned Lodovico Ariosto. 
The agritourism is an oasis of relax, situated 350 m above sea level in middle of the Riosto Hills and vineyards in an untouched ambiance, only a few kilometres away from Bologna direction Florence (Futa Pass). 
A place with an interesting historical background: from the prehistoric Pliocene era with fossil relics of whales and manatees, to the Late Middle Ages of the feudal peers Ariosti, and the Gothic Line during the Second World War. Today it is an ideal place of peace and recreation.
In the “Villa Casalino” we organize winetastings and guided tours through the wine cellar and the vineyards. If the weather is good, we can do those in our big garden or under the porch.
In the locality “Torre” we organise:
- Winetastings with snacks of local products in the newly built welcoming hall suited for weddings, graduation ceremonies, conferences and meetings, 
- Guided Tours through the winecellar,
- Explanations regarding the local wine production,
In the locality “Carvulla” we welcome our over night guests: 
7 tastefully renovated mini appartments are at your disposal on the spectacular estate of 70 hectares, in possession of the Franceschini Galletti family. 
Time for holiday, weekend, business trip or special events: all this in the surroundings of Bologna in an unique location. Our team of “I Calanchi di Riosto” welcomes you with enthusiasm and is ready to allow you an unforgettable stay.
