This is a must-see tour around the spectacular granite rocks of Gallura: Arzachena, Palau, Porto Rafael and Forte Cappellini. Sardinia and the neighbouring island of Corsica are the most ancient lands of Europe, with granite rocks that took shape in the Paleozoic era, more than half billion years ago. It is in the middle of these rocks that, one of the best wines of Sardinia originates: the Vermentino. At the end of the tour we stop at the SURRAU cellar where you will taste one of the best Vermentino wines, together with Sardinian homemade bread, olives, a selection of Sardinian cheeses and cold cuts.

This is a complete introduction to the history of Olbia and of its territory, through its monuments, landscapes but, especially in this case through its food, its wines, its gastronomy. An essential excursion to get a complete overview of the culinary traditions of the region.

The purpose of this excursion is to introduce visitors to some little-known monuments, located in areas rarely visited by ordinary tourists, such as the church of San Giorgio, but very important for the local people. Furthermore, we want to introduce the true Sardinian cuisine of the north-east, served inside a real “stazzo”, ( name of the typical Gallurese farm ). In the stazzo Lu branu all the products are grown there and made according to our ancient traditions and cultivation methods, fully respecting the pace of Nature. Therefore the guests may enjoy a pure, natural environment, good, healthy, substantial food and some true recreation. It would be also possible, on request, to visit a Sardinian old farm museum, to assist and partecipate to the making of most of the local products ( pasta, mirto, cheese, etc.) and also to buy them.
