The Gualco distillery is a magical place for anyone who wants to explore the ancient craft of making spirits as undertaken by Paolo Gualco, a former cooper. The company has been operating in the sector for 150 years, with its own venerable double-boiler stills and offers guided tours in the age-old marc storerooms and late-1700s ageing cellars. The company also has an authentic grappa boutique selling numerous products from young to aged spirits, aromatized grappa, liqueurs, and imported beers.
