Butéga Valtellina was founded with the aim of showcasing the region through its most authentic flavors. Among terraced vineyards and winemaking traditions, we welcome guests to enjoy a unique, non-traditional experience, filled with aromas, stories, and conviviality.
Our business brings together in a single network local products that represent the excellence of Valtellina, selected from small, genuine and authentic local farms (wine, cider, mead, cured meats, cheeses, and many other local artisanal products that we like to call “Unique, Non-Typical”).
We organize guided tastings in the elegant and welcoming atmosphere of our tasting room, just steps from the historic center of Tirano. Each experience is designed to help you discover our beloved Valtellina through the stories, passion, and authentic flavors of products that have characterized our mountains for centuries.
OUR TASTINGS
under the individual proposals, you will send a booking request to the winery which will reply to you for confirmation in short time.
Tasting experiences last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Each glass of wine is paired with a platter of typical local products, including artisanal cured meats (such as salami, bresaola, culatelli, and slinzeghe), fresh and aged cow’s and goat’s milk cheeses, compotes, honey, and traditional desserts.

What a wonderful afternoon! We were absolutely looking forward to this wine tasting, but the result was far behind our thoughts. Georgio was a brilliant guide telling us all about the companies thoughts and ideas as well as about the grapes, the wine production. When we started to taste the wines, he presented it in a very educational and pedagogical way.
When it was time for us, after that we’ve been shopping, we didn’t say goodbye – we said: see you again.
Do not miss this❤️

While on a tour of Northern Italy 12 of us did a wine tasting here (not part of the tour, but our tour leader handled setting it up). It was a great experience and would highly recommend it. One of the owners led the tasting and explained that the building/business is a ‘laboratory’ for locals in addition to a tasting room. Local producers can bring their raw ingredients to the labs to process a variety of cheese, jam, wine, etc. They sell only local goods in the shop and we tried 4 wines paired with meats, cheeses, breads and jams. It was enough food and wine to count as dinner. All were very good and we ended up buying 3 bottles and several jams to bring home. One we hadn’t even tried, but it was one of the premier wines of the area; 2016 Balgera Solstizio. We opened it for Thanksgiving and the family loved it. Many of the group bought gifts here also. If you’re in the area definitely plan to visit.

We had a great time doing the local produce experience at Butéga Valtellina. Giorgio was such a lovely and knowledgeable host, and took us through one amazing small producer after the other. In total 4 sets of drink and food pairings. Highly recommended.
