Grape Stomping Experience and Wine Tasting
Description
Would you like to take a dive into the past? The grape harvest is one of the most important times of the year. Usually it starts in September, when the grapes are ready to be picked and at this moment we select only the best grapes that will go into our wines. Grape stomping is an ancient and traditional method to extract the juice from the grapes to allow the fermentation process to begin. Of course this practice is not typically used anymore because of new technologies that are more efficient. The activity is perfect for all ages!

We were really excited about this experience. Communicated a lot with the host prior to arriving because the time of the experience kept changing. Overall, the wine/olive oil tasting was really nice. We came on a chilly day so we needed to move quickly through grape stomping. I gave them a 3/5 stars because the experience felt very unorganized. The souvenir bottle of wine caused some confusion, because I was informed each person in our group would make their own souvenir bottle, but when we arrived there was only one bottle prepared. They did go “find” 3 other bottles, but we had to peel off the labels. The souvenir bottles are not actually “wine”, but rather the grape juice you stomp added with water. Although that is still very exciting, I believe our expectations were a little higher based on the description, price, and early communication.
Hello Kelsey. Thank you for your review. I would like to clarify a few points. We had to adjust the timing of the experience due to logistical needs, and we truly appreciated your flexibility and willingness to accommodate the changes so we could organize everything properly. Regarding the souvenir bottle, it is clearly stated in the description that it is “wine.” The idea of the experience is exactly that you bottle the “wine” you create by stomping the grapes. Of course, this is not a fully realistic winemaking process, as grape stomping is no longer practiced today—it is meant to be a fun activity that recreates a tradition from the past. As for the number of bottles, it is not specified that each person will have their own bottle to personalize. We are sorry if there was a misunderstanding, but this is clearly outlined in the experience description. Despite this, we did our best to accommodate your group in every possible way. We are sorry that you felt the experience was disorganized, as we always strive to provide the best possible service.
Would do this again with my friends! The location is hard to find, but the people that did the tour were very helpful and easy to reach. The experience was one-of-a-kind thanks to our wonderful tour guides, Ariana and Martina. They were wonderful!
Thank you so much Mia and we hope to see you again for a brindisino! :)

The best food we had in 2 days here. Loved the wine and the property. Grape stomping was cool to experience.
Thank you Brandi for your kind words, hope to see you again :)
We had an amazing time at our grape stomping experience! Arianna gave us a tour of the winery before we stomped on some grapes she had gotten from elsewhere as it was not harvest season in July. We even tried some of the juice we made! Afterward we had a wine tasting with handmade bruschetta and best part was Arianna was able to cater for me with gluten free bread and crackers
Thank you so much Deana!!! Hope to see you again :)
Arianna was great. She provided a lot of history and shared personal experiences that made it fun. The grape stomping was an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend and go back!
Thank you so much!!! Hope to see you again :)
