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.

Don’t hesitate to book! - This turned out to be one of the best days of the holiday. For the price, you get such a friendly and knowledgable host, as well as transport, delicious food and, of course, lots of wine! I am recommending this to all of my friends - thanks Stefano!

Best wine tour in Puglia - Brilliant experience and excellent value! Stefano greeted us early in the morning by the majestic arch of Porta Napoli, we were expecting a group of people and a minibus but were surprised that it would just be us (myself and partner) and stefano, our expert for the day. Although initially apprehensive of this personal approach he soon began talking very enthusiastically and expertly on the region and the history of wine in the area. We soon arrived at the first vineyard that Stefano had chosen for us. A great tour around this, guided by him and then following on to another 2 winery’s with a brief lunch in the middle. It was amazing and I cannot wait to experience some more wines from the region and wonderfully we can purchase these through stefano and his website. The day went far better than we could have imagined and cannot express how much we would both recommend this tour! Stefano, hopefully we will see you again and look forward to some more wine from you All the best Abi and William

A wine tour with pure passion! - What a great day with Stefano! We visited three different locations in the north of Leece. Stefan told us everything about the history of wine, the different grapes in Auplia and the production of wine. The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. I hope we can do this tour once again soon! Thanks Stefano for this tour full of passion.
