Stefano’s tour is what I wish all wine tours were like! - Stefano’s wine tour was exceptional. I’ve been on wine tours throughout France, Italy and Spain, and what distinguishes the best guides from others is passion and expertise. It’s not a glorified driver, someone who drops you off from winery to winery and has the winery do their own spiel. Stefano is everything you’d want from a guide: A wine professional (He has a PhD in biochemistry), a wine enthusiast (He tastes every wine with you to give you his own tasting notes), a wine expert (He shares all the history and context of wines), and, most uniquely, a wine INSIDER. Every place we went, he walked me around freely, showing off every part of the process at a small winery, large winery, and co-op winery in villages you wouldn’t know to visit if you didn’t have a guide.
I was the only one on the tour this day, as 2 others cancelled last minute, but Stefano still ran the tour. Other guides, or large companies, would not do this. I am so thankful for his hospitality as well: He prepared appetizer bites including an incredible mozzarella local to his neighborhood.
He even has a wine shop in town, where he invited me after to do more tasting with other visitors.
Don’t hesitate to work with Stefano if you’re serious about wine and learning more about what makes Salento wines unique.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide - We loved our personal tour with Stefano. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wines of Salento, and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the variety in the wineries, too - we visited a small family-run business, a cooperative, and a larger industrial winery, and it was cool to see how they varied. Thoroughly recommend

A real must …… - I am not particularly a lover of wine but this tour was fantastic. You will leave actually knowing a good deal about the wine making processes and sample different Salento wines. Stefano’s knowledge is second to none and he was a lovely guide for the day.

A must when in Lecce - We’ve done many wine tours and can honestly say that this was one of the best. Stefano was amazing, he was very knowledgeable about tHe types of wine produced here and took us to 3 amazing wineries to taste a whole lot of great wine. We also had a very tasty traditional lunch at our second stop. If you are in Lecce and you love wine, you need to take this tour. We highly recommend it!

Salento wine tour🍷🍾🥂 - We really had a great time with Stefano!
The whole time was super relaxed and we learned so much about wine production in the Salento region.
We visited 3 Cantine from the industrial to the artisinal and were treated to some really nice wine and food.
We are not really that educated about wine but nonetheless the whole experience was accessible for us with classic puglian hospitality.
Here are some photos of our tour

Just Plain Fun - The best thing we did in Salento - Stefano is smart and knowledgeable. This is a great tour. Watching local buyers was informative. I tied to upload a picture, but Trip Advisor would not allow sufficient picture quality.
