Our tour guide was excellent. We were allowed to tour the vineyards and received information that was very interesting and educational. We enjoyed wine at three different wineries. An in depth commentary was provided by our tour guide. Four stars instead of five, for two reasons. We paid for a private tour. This tour was not private. The offering for lunch was not a meal. It was a snack that didn’t even taste good.
If you are considering a wine tour in Puglia, do not think twice—book this one with Stefano! He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about the region. The tour was so much more than just drinking wine; it was a complete education. We started in the vineyards where Stefano explained the different grape varieties and vines native to Puglia. From there, we visited three distinct wineries, each offering a unique perspective: The Local Experience: Our first stop was a charming local spot where we saw residents refilling their own wine jugs—a true "local vibe." We even learned about the history of wine distribution and saw the old cellars. The Production Process: The second winery was fascinating! We saw the actual production line, which was a first for me. I was shocked to see wine being transported in trucks that look exactly like oil tankers! We ended this stop with a fantastic lunch of local favorites and more wine. The Personal Touch: Our final stop included meeting one of the owners and tasting even more amazing selections. Stefano was amazing, attentive, and made the whole day seamless. It is well worth the cost for the amount you learn and experience!
The tour was all day and filled with lots of wine and history of the Salento wines. Stefano was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.
Excellent descriptions of the wine making process both at a traditional wine maker and a more modern wine maker. Excellent descriptions of different type of wine and grapes. One of the best wine tours we have been on. Highly recommend even if you know a good deal about wine.
Stefawine is an excellent tour guide. I have taken at least 10 wine tours in the past in various regions and countries, and Stefawine is perhaps the best of all of the guides I have had. He chose an interesting variety of wineries to visit from small to large, and his passion for the subject shines through in his very informative discussion. Highly recommend.
Stefano was a wealth of information. We learned so much about the regional wines. It was a great day and we truly enjoyed it.
Despite the pouring rain, we enjoyed our tour of the wineries and learned a lot from our guide Stefano! We tasted some truly delicious wines and the lunchtime snack was very good, featuring local products. We highly recommend it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A super fun and very interactive tour! We visited three wineries and tasted a wide variety of excellent wines. Also great food. Stefano is incredibly knowledgeable and personally knows the producers and sellers. The small, intimate group made the experience even better — I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it!
What an amazing day. Stefano was so knowledgeable about the area and the wines. Such great tastings and lunch. Would highly recommend if in the area. Very small group tour of 4 people. Highlight of Lecce
Wow! Stefano was excellent! Knowledgeable snd personable. Tasted a wide variety of Salento wines snd Stefano raised our wine knowledge quite a bit. What appeared to be a long day was too short.
