Great experience! - My husband and I traveled to the Piedmont region specifically to visit wineries in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. We didn’t want to drive ourselves and weren’t sure which wineries to choose. We read about Matteo in a travel blog that highly recommended him as a guide. When we reached out to him several months before our trip, he responded quickly and gathered information so that he could arrange a custom itinerary for us. We spent two incredible days with Matteo guiding us through the region and taking us to wonderful wineries. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and the vintners and couldn’t have been happier with the selections he made. We can’t wait to plan our next trip to the region with him.

Wonderful Time Well Spent - Matteo gave us a great tour of the Langhe wine regions. We visited one small winery in Borola in the morning, had a delicious lunch in Serralunga, then visited another small winery in Barbaresco in the afternoon. In Borola, one of the owners took us to one of their vineyards where they were getting ready to start harvesting. We walked up the hillside while receiving an explanation of the difference type of grapes, why they were being grown on a particular area of the vineyard, and when they were expecting to start the harvest. Both wineries were very welcoming and took care to explain the process that they use to make their wine unique.

Fantastic day with Matteo! - Although we had a bit of a delay with the trains Matteo was patient and made sure we still had arrangements to three wineries plus lunch! It was all fantastico! His knowledge is amazing and personality wonderful. A great host (despite having a three week old baby! ❤️). Highly recommend to anyone interested in piedmonts area wines - Barbaresco and barolo which are so local to this region. We sent lots to USA for enjoyment later.

Do Not Hesitate to Spend a Day with Matteo! - We had an absolutely amazing time with Matteo!!! He was born and raised in the area, but has traveled extensively and has a huge knowledge of wine and food. He genuinely loves what he does and his knowledge of wine is enormous -but, by his own admission, he loves to keep learning.
We had initially requested Barbaresco, but as the Tour De France was going through, ended up in Barolo. No issue for us with that! We went to three fabulous vineyards, learned so much, drank fantastic wines, had the BEST lunch at a local restaurant in La Morra we probably would not have found ourselves and just had an overall awesome day.
Highly, highly recommend Matteo. We want to go back in October for truffle season and will not hesitate to book with him again.

Wonderful wine tour with Matteo! - My husband and I had a wonderful day with Matteo visiting 3 wineries. Matteo selected these wineries based on our request to taste Barolo wines and we were thrilled with the choices he made. At each winery we had multile sampling of different Barolo wines and we were very happy with all of them. We bought some wines to be shipped and Matteo guided us with the process. Matteo is very knowledgeable of the wines and the region. It was a great tour and we highly recommend Matteo to anyone who is interested in doing a wine tour!

Wonderful Day Wine Tasting - Had the most amazing day visiting some truly special wineries selected by our guide Matteo, who was terrific. We had based ourselves in Turin, so travelled to/from Turin to Asti by train, which was really easy to do and took about 40. Minutes, but we wished we had stayed a few nights in the region of Alba/Asti to experience the area some more as it was beautiful. Matteo our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful, the whole day was impeccably planned and his choice of restaurant was perfect. Every winery welcomed us with open arms to share their passion, knowledge and wine - which was some of the best we have ever tasted. Highly recommend this tour.

Best wine tour - Matteo was knowledgeable about the area and wine production. He was an excellent tour guide and set up interesting tastings for my family and a lovely lunch as well. We saw beautiful things, learned a lot about wine, and enjoyed his company as well. Can't recommend enough!!

Top Notch Experience - My spouse and I spent a great day with Matteo doing tastings at several wineries this past December. Matteo speaks great English, drives a nice clean car, is friendly, and also very knowledgeable about the region and food. We were able to go to wineries that we wouldn't have been able to just show up to, and we had great private tastings at each one. He also answered several of my questions in advance of the trip about the area and possible accommodations which was greatly appreciated.
Matteo managed to get us a lunch reservation at a very difficult to get into restaurant that was fantastic. It didn't hurt that it was white truffle season! We collected 12 bottles of wine during the day, and Matteo brought us to the wine shipper for shipment back to the US (wine arrived about weeks later).
If you're at all on the fence about doing a tour with Matteo, my recommendation is just do it, you'll have a very memorable day!

Misleading wine tour advertisement to Barolo - The ad was misleading. It mentioned we will visit 2 wineries and will get to taste Barolo wines, which we were looking very much forward to. But we visited only 1 winery and did not taste Barolo wines. We spent more than 2 hours in 1 winery and tasted at least 7 wines which to our opinion did not measure up. I was told by the guide that theirMIs wines are on par with Barolo but we disagreed. All 5 of us felt short-changed and will never sign up with this young tour company again!
