With the tour officially not starting until tomorrow (Saturday) the early arrivals took the opportunity to tour a Glulam plant, winery (it is Italy!) and shopping centre project, hosted by Moretti S.p.a.

Following a quick introduction to the Moretti business and inspiring examples of projects in glued laminated timber – the group visited the Glulam production plant – an amazing sight.

The tour then departed for the Bellavista Winery – owned by the Moretti family.  The original Moretti family’s hobby was wine making.

He started the winery in his home and then, as his hobby grew, built tunnels to hold more wine and the business became what it is today.
