Da Wine Bar – the charm of the old mill on the banks of the Natissa

In the heart of Aquileia, a UNESCO World Heritage city and guardian of a glorious Roman past, there is a place that brings together history, nature, and the flavors of the land. It’s called Da Wine Bar – Giardini Ritter de Záhony, and its very name tells a piece of Friulian tradition. Welcoming you is a charming 19th-century farmhouse, once an old water mill for wheat, today transformed into an elegant wine bar. The location is truly unique: overlooking the Natissa River and gazing toward the Roman River Port, it offers the thrill of sipping a glass immersed in centuries of history.

Upon entering, you breathe in a warm and authentic atmosphere. Wooden beams, stone walls, and period details create a perfect blend of past and present. The large outdoor gardens invite you to linger at sunset, when the light caresses the water and time seems to slow down. It’s the ideal place for a wine tasting that is not just sampling, but a cultural and sensory experience.

Da Wine Bar is in fact the expression of the Barone Ritter de Záhony winery, a historic Friulian estate that brings the soul of this land into every bottle. Here you can discover their most representative wines, from the elegant notes of whites to the full-bodied character of reds, always presented with passion and expertise by the staff. Each glass is paired with regional delicacies, creating a true journey through the flavors of Friuli.

Among the highlights are the cheeses from the Del Ben dairy in Porcia, with their nuances of milk and aging, and the cured meats from In Cortile of Sottoselva and the Bagatto Prosciuttificio of San Daniele—perfect for a board that celebrates local tradition. Pairing them with a glass of the winery’s Friulano is highly recommended: soft, fragrant, and in harmony with the delicacy of the cheeses.

Whether you are a wine enthusiast, a history lover, or simply in search of a romantic corner, Da Wine Bar – Giardini Ritter de Záhony will win you over with its atmosphere suspended between past and present. A toast that tells the story of Aquileia, its land, and its roots.

A glass here is not just a tasting: it is a journey through history, nature, and Friulian flavors.
