Lazenne Blog

Conhecer e fazer degustações a seu modo através das vinícolas da Europa é um dos pontos de destaque para qualquer turista que esteja no continente. Basta apenas dar uma olhada no ranking das melhores atividades do TripAdvisor ou Winerist para perceber como uma vinícola ou qualquer coisa relacionada a vinhos é sedutor e magnético! Afinal de contas, uma taça de vinho incita a férias e descontração, especialmente nas imagens perfeitas que algumas vinhas europeias chamam de lar. 

Entretanto, graças aos aumentos dos preçosdas companhias aéreas (e todas aquelas taxas sorrateiras para bagagens despachadas), juntamente com a falta de conhecimento sobre quanto vinho você pode levar para casa com você em um avião, talvez seja bem raro que qualquer vinho seja adquirido diretamente na vinícola. O que realmente é uma pena, uma vez que há varias razões para fazer mais compras na adega de uma vinícola. Na verdade, a Lazenne vai apresentar aqui as cinco melhores!

As our list of partners grows we've decided to launch a post titled Deal Friday. Every week we will work with one of our partners to come up with an exclusive discount that Lazenne followers or purchasers of Lazenne's wine travel accessories will benefit from. This concept will surely evolve with time, but our intention is to bring to you some of the best our partners have to offer, for a little (or a lot) less.

To kick off Deal Friday, we've partnered up with Paris Apartments Plus. Their newly launched upgraded website will make planning your trip to Paris a seamless experience. They not only offer holiday apartments for rent in the City of Light, but as well a host of concierge services and activities that can be included with your booking.

Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia; all names which we’re guessing probably don’t immediately spring to mind when you think of wine producing countries. Yet there’s a thriving, and historic, wine scene in the Balkans, which overflows with centuries of wine making tradition, exotic sounding grape varieties and interesting, high quality wines.

Wondering where to start?

Last week we featured expat and local resident Valerie Quintanilla (GirlsGottaDrink) giving her views of why Piedmont is a must for wine lovers thinking about visiting Italy. This week we continue on the same theme. Enrico Cassinelli, local resident and founder of Langhe.net gives wine and food lovers four good reason to visit the Langhe, a hilly area to the south and east of the river Tanaro in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont.

The Langhe is a magnificent wine region, where the local wine and food traditions relive every day in the wine cellars, in its people and its splendid hills. Ancient castles, fortified villages, small towns and art treasures, along with unique products such as truffles, the ‘Tonda Gentile’ hazelnut and famous wines like Barolo, Barbera, Barbaresco and Moscato are just some of the great reasons to visit these locations.
