Viticulture Essential Edition
Inherit a modest Tuscan vineyard and try to make something worth the label.
What it is
You inherit a small Tuscan vineyard with no wine in the cellar yet. Workers plant vines, harvest grapes, age wine and fill orders, with different jobs in summer and winter. Visitor cards bring a steady stream of small favours. It suits anyone who wants a relaxed worker placement game with a strong sense of place.
What we love
- The Essential Edition is a complete version of the game, so nothing extra is needed.
- It seats one to six, and solo rules are in the rulebook.
- Planting, harvesting and ageing wine form a clear, satisfying chain.
Honest trade-offs
- The whole game is about making wine, which will not suit every family.
- The first worker to a task often gets an advantage, so going late can sting.
