Why go
About Enoteca Cava Turacciolo
The cellar sits at the entrance to Salita Genazzini in Bellagio, in an 18th-century building that has been fully restored. Its stone walls give the place an intimate, welcoming feel, and a list of more than three hundred Italian labels, local and national, waits for you inside. Visitors come from all over the world, and the informal atmosphere makes it easy to start a conversation with the next table.
Tastings follow a simple path from light wines to more structured ones, led by sommeliers who explain each glass and where it comes from. You can build the evening from the menu, with salumi, cheeses, lake fish and traditional pasta, or simply choose one of the ready-made pairings. Guests are welcome to ask the staff for help choosing, whatever their taste or budget.

Services from the official website.
Menù d'abbinamento alle degustazioni
Tasting and pairing menus
Four set menus pair with the tastings, built from lake fish, cured meats, cheeses with honey, regional pasta and risotto. Ideal if you would rather be guided than choose dish by dish.
Menù
Cellar table and wine bar
Order by the glass or bottle with boards of salumi and cheeses, smoked lake trout and char, and hot Valtellina dishes. Informal, convivial dining in the stone cellar, good for an aperitif or dinner.
Sala riservata
Private tasting room
A separate room can be booked for wine tastings, aperitifs or private events. A fitting choice for a small celebration or a group that wants a quieter, more personal tasting in the cellar.
Negozio
Wine shop and shipping
Browse the online shop of Italian and international wines, whiskies and champagne, then send an order request. Each order is checked by hand and shipped by courier, so you can take Bellagio home.
