Locride Wine and Flavors Route – Among the scents of the sea, ancient vineyards and villages suspended in time. The Locride Wine and Flavours Route winds along the Calabrian Ionian coast, crossing green hills that descend towards the sea and villages that preserve memory, silence and authentic flavours. From the vineyards of Bianco to the olive groves of Mammola and Stilo, this itinerary is an invitation to discover the eastern heart of Calabria through wine, tradition and landscape. 🍇 Greco di Bianco: ancient sweetness and strong identity: Greco di Bianco DOC is an extraordinary raisin wine, produced with grapes left to dry in the sun, according to an ancient Greek technique. It has intense aromas of honey, orange peel and Mediterranean spices. A wine that is not forgotten. 👉 Tip: Visit a winery in the countryside of Bianco at sunset: between the golden rows and the scent of raisins, every sip will have a special flavor. 🌿 Landscape between the Ionian and the mountains: Locride is a land of contrasts: on one side the blue of the Ionian Sea, on the other the slopes of Aspromonte. Centuries-old olive trees, neat vineyards and scenic roads make this stretch of Calabria a perfect place for a slow and sensory journey. 👉 Tip: Stop between Casignana and Stilo for a panoramic stop: your gaze is lost between the sea, hills and wide skies. 🍴 Genuine flavors of the land and sea: The local cuisine is an interweaving of simplicity and character: stockfish alla mammolese, pasta with durum wheat flour, goat's cheeses and preserves in oil are the protagonists on the tables of this area. And Greco di Bianco goes perfectly with dry desserts and spicy dishes. 👉 Tip: Look for a small trattoria in the alleys of Mammola and ask for the dishes of the day: they will tell you a story with every forkful. 🏛️ Villages rich in art and spirituality: In addition to taste, this road offers extraordinary places such as the Cattolica di Stilo, a Byzantine treasure chest set among the rocks, or the stockfish museum in Mammola. Each country has its own rhythm, its own rituals, its own deep identity. 👉 Tip: Visit Stilo in the early hours of the morning: the grazing light enhances every stone, and silence is part of the experience. 🛌 Rural hospitality among vines, olive trees and the sea: Farmhouses, farms and family-run B&Bs offer authentic hospitality, breakfasts with homemade products and sunsets that are reflected in the sea. La Locride is ideal for a relaxed, deep, timeless stay. 👉 Tip: Sleep among the rows of Bianco or in the hills of Gerace: waking up with the aroma of must and the view of the sea is priceless. The Locride Wine and Flavours Route is a slow story, made up of ancient scents, open landscapes and human warmth. An authentic Calabria that knows how to excite with its simplicity.
