The 50-minute journey is incredibly charming. You'll get off at a station right by the river and after getting ready... we'll swim through vineyards until we reach a charming wine farm. The distance to be swum is adjusted to the level of each swimmer, so don't worry! In the meantime, you'll be served a fantastic regional lunch and wines from this estate and you'll be able to contemplate the most enchanting views of this region.
