CASTELLO DI GROPPARELLO

Gropparello Via Roma, 84 - 29025 (PC)

  • Mtg rooms 5
  • Pax 10 - 150

Profile

Suspended over the wilderness like an eagle's nest, the Castle of Gropparello (8th-13th century) strikes visitors with its turreted monumental complex, which offers a succession of scenically different panoramic views: a jewel set among the rocks of a gorge, surrounded by a mysterious park that makes you dream.
With an irregular plan due to the roughness of the terrain, the castle is an example of the art of medieval fortification. Placed to defend the access road to the valley, it stands on a large ophiolite area with a gorge that descends to the Vezzeno stream, making the manor impregnable. It is surrounded by a 15-hectare park, within which are the magnificent Vezzeno Gorges, which can be explored along paths through an idyllic landscape, on the highest rock of which is a Celtic altar. On the south-facing coast are the paths of the Museo della Rosa Nascente (Museum of the Rising Rose), with a hornbeam maze and 17 rose gardens comprising 1,280 plants of 120 varieties of rose.
Inside there is also a gourmet restaurant with an indoor dining room and garden.

Activities on offer:
1. Treasure hunt in the castle woods, with medieval-themed entertainment
2. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
3. Sensory cooking game. 2 cooking teams prepare lunch. Fully equipped room for this purpose, including small appliances for cutting, kneading and cooking. Convivial lunch at the end of the preparation.
4. Medieval challenge. A series of medieval games played by teams to win the title of King's Champion.
5. Cooking game. Cooking competitions of different levels depending on the time available and the requirements.
6. Vintage wine making, with grape harvesting in the cellar and pressing.
7. Wine Lab | Wine tasting
8. Cocktail Room Challenge. A bartending course, in which participants learn the art of cocktail preparation.
10. Giallo al Castello (Murder at the Castle), a great intrigue for which a solution must be found
11. Murder mystery dinner


In addition:
guided tours of the castle, nature walks in the park led by experts such as a historian, a botanist or an astrologer for the evening activities
