Agriloro is a Ticino winery based at Via Prella 14 in Genestrerio, and it rents out a venue in the centre of Mendrisio, the historic Cantina Mendrisio. The former barrel-ageing cellar has been restored for ceremonies, private events and company events. Its equipped mezzanine room seats up to 50 people.
Seminars and company events
The official site describes the Cantina Mendrisio as a venue for corporate events in Ticino. The mezzanine room is fitted out for conferences, presentations, business meetings and private events. It seats up to 50 and the site calls it functional and characterful. A tasting of Agriloro wines can be added on request, which gives a business meeting a natural close.
Weddings and receptions
The venue lists ceremonies among its uses. The Fireplace Room is described as an intimate, welcoming and private space where the warmth of the fireplace and the atmosphere of the cellar suit a gathering with a glass of Agriloro wine. The pages we read do not publish wedding capacities, so ask for figures with your enquiry.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has three spaces.
The Sala Camino, or fireplace room, is a small private room with a fireplace, made for sharing a glass of wine in company. No capacity is stated.
The Sala soppalcata attrezzata, the equipped mezzanine room, is versatile and seats up to 50. It suits conferences, presentations, company meetings and private events.
The Antica Barricaia, the old barrel hall, keeps its wooden barrels and cellar atmosphere. The site proposes it for private tastings, convivial meetings and special occasions, in a private setting close to the world of wine.
Accommodation
The pages we read mention no accommodation. Guests would stay in Mendrisio or elsewhere in Ticino.
Catering
The site mentions wine tastings of Agriloro wines on request. It gives no information on food, kitchens or outside caterers. Ask for a quote and describe your event, as the venue invites you to do through its form or by phone.
History and setting
Agriloro has made wine since 1981 in the Mendrisiotto, in southern Ticino. It works two estates. The Tenimento dell'Ör is an old estate dating from 1700 at Arzo, with 11 hectares of land. The Tenimento La Prella, bought in 2002, covers 23 hectares of which 12 are vineyard. The company also keeps an ampelographic garden with 600 species and varieties of vine from around the world, and it uses a photovoltaic plant and animals in the vineyard.
The event cellar sits in the centre of Mendrisio, not at the Genestrerio address of the winery, so check the exact address when you book.
Getting there
The winery office is at Via Prella 14, 6852 Genestrerio, and the telephone line is open for enquiries. The Cantina Mendrisio is in the centre of Mendrisio, and the site gives no further directions.
