Guided tour of the ‘Walking with an apple’ trail

Walking with an apple in the sweet heart of Capriasca!

The fruits are ripening! From September to November, we invite small groups to explore the ancient fruit trees of the region and experience their remarkable diversity: from flat apples to red-fleshed varieties, banana-flavored apples, and more.

The visit includes interactive activities along the way and a convivial moment in the courtyard with a guided tasting of old apples and a toast (with apple juice and sparkling wine): a moment of relaxation and conviviality for everyone!

Join us for an unforgettable immersion in the natural beauty of Capriasca, just 20 minutes from Lugano, where you’ll discover orchards, traditional villages, and stunning scenery.
